When many people seek care in our office they have one goal: relief. So that's where we start!
When they get the relief they desire what do you do next? This article uncovers the facts about a wellness chiropractic program and the many benefits it delivers.
The underlying premise of wellness care is that the focus of care should be directed away from treating disease and toward promoting good health. Another way of stating this is that wellness care concentrates on two areas: disease prevention and health promotion.
After most patients go through a corrective care treatment plan they discover what it is like to feel good again. They put in the hard work that it takes to correct the spine and restore normal biomechanics. Corrective care is like braces for your teeth, only for your spine. Wellness care is the retainer. It promotes prevention and encourages healthy decision making with respect to your body.
The benefits of Chiropractic Wellness Care include:
· helps keep your spine flexible and your joints moveable and healthy
· helps improve posture, and thus energy levels· helps remove pressure to your spinal cord allowing your nerves to work properly
· helps foster a more responsive nervous system, reducing chances of "throwing your back out" due to poor muscular coordination.
Chiropractors are deeply concerned about making sure your body is able to function to the best of its ability and be as healthy as possible for as long as possible. That's why they recommend regular spinal check-ups for everyone for a lifetime. Why a lifetime? How long do you want to be healthy?

Myofacial Pain
What is it?
Myofascial pain is a technical way to describe muscle pain. This is pain and inflamation around the body's soft tissue structures. It can be a chronic condition that affects the connective tissue that covers muscles (fascia). These conditions can often times be aggravated by poor posture, bad ergonomics, and common day to day activity like gardening.
Myofascial pain may involve either a single muscle or a muscle group. In some cases, the area where a person experiences the pain may not be where the myofascial pain generator is located. Research has shown that the actual site of the injury prompts the development of a trigger point that, in turn, causes pain in other areas. This situation is known as referred pain. Pain referral is very common and can sometimes be tricky to diagnose properly due to pain emitting from tissue that is not the origin of the injury.

How do we treat it?
- Massage- Trigger points are found and eliminated by condition specific treatment.
- Chiropractic adjustments- When joints are free to move properly, surrounding muscle works more efficiently thus lessening the total load.
- Physical Therapy- When trigger points are eliminated muscle is strengthen to reduce the recurrence of them.
