Want to Get Healthy & Stay Healthy? See Your Chiropractor
Health and wellness are topics we all talk about. But when it comes down to really making choices, your chiropractor may be one of your best resources.
The American Chiropractic Association explains the difference that chiropractors bring to our health care options. They say the chiropractor is the one who defines wellness as an active process that promotes health and enhances quality of life.
Chiropractors are best known for their expert care of back pain, neck pain and headaches, but they also offer patients a variety of conservative recommendations and counseling on general health and wellness topics.
How Wellness Is Defined & Carried Out
If you wonder what a chiropractor does that is different from a medical doctor, the answer lies in the way the two professions function. To achieve “wellness” in traditional terms, a medical doctor screens you for diseases.
On the other hand, your chiropractor screens for diseases, but also talks about lifestyle and behaviors that may put you at risk for injury or illness.
It’s important to note that the chiropractic’s approach is drug-free; instead of writing a prescription, a chiropractor offers spinal adjustments, rehabilitative exercises, nutritional counseling and lifestyle modifications to move patients toward wellness.

Seeing Your Chiropractor
Chiropractors are the highest-rated healthcare practitioners with their patient-centered, whole-person, drug free approach.
They believe wellness and routine chiropractic care should be as basic to our lives as healthy diets and daily exercise.
They offer the purest form of chiropractic care, providing full spinal adjustments using the diversified technique to check for subluxations, which are misalignments of the spine.
Subluxations are misalignments of one or more vertebrae in the spine and/or joints. When the misalignment is corrected it may have far reaching effects on back, neck and sciatica pain.
It may also help with allergies, TMJ, arthritis, headaches and migraines.
During your visit, your doctor of chiropractic will perform exams to locate the source of your pain and will ask you questions about your current symptoms and remedies you may have already tried.
I have known many friends and relatives who have found this simple, direct chiropractic treatment to be the best way to maintain wellness.
Many of them started seeing a chiropractor for wellness visits in their thirties and forties. By the time they reached retirement they were still relying on their chiropractors for the assistance that helped them keep right on going.
If this direct focus on chiropractic wellness sounds just as great to you as it does to majority of the people in the U.S., make an appointment and find out more.
