Wellness Care in Colorado Springs

Far too many people settle for okay, in health and never experience the joy of truely functioning well. Imagine if you had a clearer head or more energy or less sick days how much more could you accomplish? Our health care system encourages people to wait until the presence of symptoms before seeking care. We know that oftentimes symptoms are the last thing that show up when dysfunction is present. It’s like the person we all know that was considered very healthy until one day when they suddenly suffered a heart attack. The underlying dysfunction with the heart was present long before the symptom appeared.

HOW YOUR LIFESTYLE CAN AFFECT YOUR HEALTH IN THE COLORADO SPRINGS

Our health is constantly evolving and is never stationary. Each decision we make brings us toward optimal health or toward sickness and disease. We are subject to toxins on a daily basis and these toxins can be chemical, physical, or emotional. We are never going to truly escape these three stressors but the levels at which we experience them can vary. Our ability to stay healthy is dependent on our bodies' ability to adapt to the stress our life places on it. When we have prolonged posture at work either sitting or standing or when we have repetitive movements or when we have large amounts of emotional stress our body has to process that stress and heal. Stress can compound over time diminishing our ability to express life.

WHY WE NEED WELLNESS CARE

If we are looking at the body functioning properly and not just the absence of symptoms then we have to understand the role of our nervous system. Our brain controls and coordinates every function in our body. It does so by sending messages down through the spinal cord and out through our nerves. When we have misalignments in our spine, we can have interference with the communication leading to dis-ease. Much like in a time of war when one side's army attempts to disrupt communication leading to dysfunctional responses. A subluxation (misalignment of 1 or more bones in the spine) can limit the brain's ability to coordinate a response to stress. Digestion, lung capacity, oxygen saturation, blood flow, heartbeat, skin tone, and overall mobility are just a few of the body’s functions that are positively impacted by a properly aligned spine.

WHY SHOULD CHIROPRACTIC CARE BE A PART OF YOUR WELLNESS ROUTINE?

Chiropractic adjustments work to maintain the communication and therefore coordination of all the organs, tissues, and glands of the body. Regular gentle adjustments with our state-of-the-art technique can ensure the stressors of your daily life are not slowly wearing down your health. Using advanced thermography and static electromyography our doctor can help to detect problems before they develop into more serious issues. Much like we brush our teeth to maintain oral hygiene; chiropractic adjustments help us maintain spinal hygiene. We only get one spine and cannot replace it when it is damaged.
