What is Chiropactic?
A Healthy Nervous System
The most important component of wellness in the vitalistic paradigm of the
Chiropractic Profession is a healthy Nervous System.
Doctor's of Chiropractic are in reality Doctor's of the Nervous System. An optimally working Nervous System is critical to health, because the Nervous System controls the health of every cell, tissue and organ in our body.
Wellness Chiropractic care is defined as regular spinal adjustments to create optimal functioning of the Nervous System.
Regular care can be anything from weekly to monthly adjustments, and has the overall effect of continually increasing our body's adaptability and vitality.

Medicare Study on Chiropractic
A revealing piece of research done by Medicare showed that regular Chiropractic adjustments, defined as a minimum of once per month, for 5 years, had a monumental positive impact on health. The people that used Chiropractic for health and wellness had 50% fewer visits to their MD, AND the overall dollars spent for "healthcare" (an oxymoron, because healthcare is really sick care) was 70% less!
Medicine vs. Health
It is important to distinguish the contrasting interpretations that exist when a Chiropractor uses the language of Wellness, vs. a Medical Doctor. When medicine refers to wellness, what they really mean is early disease detection. This obviously is an important part of what they do, but the emphasis is on the detection and treatment of disease, using interventions that include drugs and surgery. Chiropractic Wellness arises from the premise that the body is homeo-dynamic and self healing. By providing the body with proper nerve function, nutrition, exercise, a safe clean environment, and a balanced lifestyle, our body's will thrive, and the end result will be health, vitality, and wellness!!
