Health Care vs Sick Care

Health Care vs Sick Care

Most new patients start chiropractic care looking to get out of pain. They want chiropractic care so they can stop being sick! = Sick Care.

Many of my repeat clients have a preventative or wellness check-up to ensure they stay well. =  Health Care.

What’s the difference?

The difference is the purpose. Patients who want to get out of pain are focusing on the pain, not on their overall health or long-term health goals. The people who continue chiropractic care even though the pain has stopped want to stay healthy for a lifetime.

Chiropractic Care embraces the WELLNESS PARADIGM of thought.

The Wellness Paradigm addresses the body as an innately intelligent, self-governing, self-regulating being.  When you give your body what it needs and remove what is toxic it will express its optimal health.

The Wellness Model encourages a proactive approach to life. It ensures the provision of all the requirements for healthy cells. Your body is made up of cells, and they have a unique set of needs. When you provide these needs and remove the toxins to the cells the body is wise enough to work at its best.

The Wellness Paradigm recognizes that sickness is not the opposite of health but rather sickness is the absence of health. Similar to the fact that darkness is the absence of light – not its opposite.  The only way to brighten a room is to add light, not reduce the darkness.  Likewise, the only way to get well is to increase health, not fixate on reducing sickness. 

My style of Chiropractic care is about empowering you with the knowledge of a lifestyle that supports health, builds health, and creates a WELL YOU.

There are four core pillars of a healthy lifestyle:

1. MOVEMENT
2. SLEEP
3. NUTRITION
4. MINDSET/STRESS
