Our Philosophy: “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”
Wellness care is:
-
Concentrated 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.
Chiropractic Philosophy includes:
-
Emphasis on patient restorative abilities rather than surgery
-
Acknowledgment that dynamics exist between lifestyle, environment and health
-
Understanding the origin of illness in order to eliminate it, rather than simply treat symptoms
-
Appreciation of the centrality of the nervous system and its close relationship with the capacities of the human body
-
Corresponding benefits versus risks of clinical interventions
-
Recognition of the primary significance of monitoring progress closely through appropriate diagnostic procedures
-
A patient-centered, hands-on approach focused on influencing function through structure
-
Focus on early involvement emphasizing timely diagnosis and treatment of conditions that are fully functional and reversible
