WELLNESS

Wellness care is:

• Concentrates on two areas: disease prevention and health promotion.
• Directed away from treating disease and toward promoting good health.
• Health driven instead of disease or condition driven.

**Wellness care does not stop when symptoms or diseases terminate.

The central theme of wellness philosophy is empowering patients to take charge of their own health.

• In both chiropractic and wellness, we are focused on health from the inside-out. According to this view health lies inside each of us, and it is largely our own responsibility to maintain wellness.
• Chiropractic care helps empower people to live more stress-free, balanced, healthy lives. There is a natural marriage between chiropractic and wellness.

In a wellness-based model of care:

• The goal is patient wellness, optimal health, fitness and full functional capacity.
• Chiropractors partner with patients providing active care and education to promote wellness and help prevent patient symptoms and disease.
• Chiropractors empower patients to achieve and maintain maximal health.
