Wellness and Prevention Care

Wellness and Prevention Care

Wellness care is about preventing problems before they happen. Do you believe that when many pain problems surface, it is from something that happened suddenly or slowly over time?

For example, a woman enjoys playing tennis weekly, but after years of enjoying this activity, she begins to experience back pain. A high school baseball pitcher begins to experience shoulder pain after competing at an elite level for three years. A computer software programmer experiences leg pain/sciatica after sitting in a cubicle for a long time.  Do the symptoms that these people experience, reflect an immediate problem or something that was progressing slowly but steadily over time?
 
I think you get the idea!  Even though the presence of pain is one of the primary reasons why patients seek the expertise of a health-care provider, pain is usually the last thing that surfaces, once the UNDERLYING CAUSE for the pain has been there for some time. This is important to understand, because by knowing this you have the ability to make good decisions about your health and lifestyle habits. We know that dietary choices, exercise, and lifestyle habits can have a significant influence on your health over time.  Our society understands and embraces the role of dental hygiene in preventing dental problems. From a chiropractic perspective, professional wellness care is a very important choice for potentially reducing the likelihood for future health related problems.
