To understand what chiropractic wellness care is all about, an accurate definition of health must first be understood. In our society, many people perceive health as “feeling good, without any pain or symptoms,” but in reality health encompasses much more than that.
Health can be summed up in one word—function. How well your body is functioning determines how truly well you are. Health and wellness mean so much more than just “feeling good”; they are about functioning at your ultimate potential. When your body is functioning at its highest potential, you have the innate ability to adapt to any physical, chemical, and emotional stressors that occur in your environment and you can maintain constant optimal health.
Health challenges and illness result from an inability to adapt to stressors and the result is a decrease in function. How you function and adapt to your environment on a daily basis is completely within your power. Health is a choice that is ultimately yours.
Chiropractic is different. We understand that you cannot concentrate on sickness and disease and expect health and wellness to prevail in your life. Simply treating symptoms and choosing not to look at the body as a whole, self-healing system is a critical mistake. In our office, we take a broader approach to your health and examine how you arefunctioning rather than only focusing on how you feel.
At Swain Chiropractic, we help restore and maintain your health and wellness by working to remove the cause of your problem. First, the chiropractic adjustments will remove subluxations allowing your body to function optimally. Secondly, we will give you the tools to embrace a healthy lifestyle through education and continued support.
