What Is Chiropractic Wellness Care?

Chiropractic can be an effective component of wellness care since the nervous system is central to the health of your body. Communication flows back and forth between the brain and the spine and the cells, tissues, and organs. If the communication gets blocked, then a breakdown of the body occurs.

If you already have aches, pains, illness and disease, correcting the subluxations will allow your body to operate at its optimal level. Once operating efficiently, the body’s innate power will seek to heal itself.

 Once this optimization is achieved, you will want to keep it there. It makes no sense to be functioning at an optimal level and assume that there will never be another subluxation. Our lives are so full that subluxations are simply a fact of life.

 Imagine getting your engine tuned up so that your car now sounds beautiful, uses a minimum of oil, has great gas mileage, and rides smoothly. Now, you take that car on a cross-country trip. After the trip, you continue to drive the car without taking it to the mechanic again. In short order, your car will not be running smoothly. It uses more oil and your gas mileage is lower. Then the “check engine” light come on and you have to rush the car to the garage.

A regular tune-up after the trip would have prevented the crisis. The same is true for our bodies. Once you have your body working well, a “tune-up,” in the form of chiropractic maintenance care, will keep your body running smoothly. This is what wellness care is all about.

Maintaining a properly functioning nerve system is essential if you want to be your very best. Treating disease is important and everyone deserves the best chance to heal and recover. However, we need to change the focus from treating to preventing.

 We ride in cars that have the latest and greatest in safety features. We are strapped in and surrounded by bags in case of a crash. We have anti-lock brakes to keep us from hydroplaning when we try to stop. Everything about the driving experience is meant to prevent problems and keep us safe.

 Wouldn’t it be great if we could do the same with the care of our body? We can. It’s called wellness care, and wellness care can and should begin with chiropractic.
