Wellness Care

What is Wellness Care? 

Often chiropractic care is associated with back and neck pain. While chiropractic has shown great results with these conditions, there is so much more to chiropractic. At Essentials of Life Chiropractic, we offer two different forms of care: Wellness Care and Corrective Care. Corrective care is used to correct the underlying cause of the symptoms and condition. Wellness care is regular maintenance care to continually provide support to your body’s spine and nervous system as it faces the chemical, physical, emotional, and mental stress of everyday life. Wellness care is centered around the idea that Thomas Edison spoke of when he said, “The doctor of the future will give no medicine but will instruct his patient in the care of the human frame, in diet and in the cause and prevention of disease.” Chiropractic adjustments in addition to proper nutrition, posture, sleep, and stress management help the body perform at maximum efficiency, resulting in improved function.

Chiropractic wellness patients spent 69% less than the national average for healthcare services and 85% less on pharmaceuticals. Other benefits of Wellness Care may include:
