What is Wellness?
The word wellness has become a catch phrase that means different things to different people. To your chiropractor wellness is the state of health where your body is free of interruption or interference to any part of your nerve system, enabling you full expression and enjoyment of life. For example, how well you feel is not a dependable indicator of your actual health. Even if you feel you’re coping well with recurrent long-term and familiar aches and pains you are still overtaxing your body, resulting in a low overall wellness score.
My chiropractor treats my spine for back and neck problems, what’s that got to do with wellness?
Let’s start at the beginning. First, it’s your nervous system that determines how well you feel mentally, emotionally and physically. When your nervous system isn’t up to par because of spinal problems it has to work overtime to compensate.

The effect of an overworked or stressed nervous system can be headache, fatigue, muscle ache and pain and a host of other unpleasant symptoms which can become more serious or lead to more complicated conditions as time passes. The solution can be a simple one: chiropractic care. Your chiropractor is a spinal specialist who can help you restore health to your spine. This will allow your nervous system to work at its best so you can get on with your life.
