Dear Patient and Friend,
For much of your health care, you know which professionals to visit. For problems with your teeth, you go to your dentist. For broken bones, it’s your orthopedist. If you have a heart condition, you consult a cardiologist.
These providers are well-versed in dealing with the diseases within their specialty and what to do about them, and thank goodness they can do that. But who is the expert you ask about health and wellness? Every family has health and wellness issues to contend with, and opportunities to capitalize on, that are not really part of the expertise of these other doctors.
For example, who helps you decide how to feed yourself and your family healthfully? Who recommends the right exercise programs, the right stress relaxation programs, the right detoxification and ideal body weight programs? Who coaches you on how to choose lifestyle habits that improve your health and well-being and avoid those that diminish it?
Your doctor of chiropractic is trained in nutrition, exercise and body mechanics and the overall reduction of brain and nerve system stress. When you’re building your team of most trusted health and wellness advisors, it’s wise to include your chiropractor – he or she can help you live a longer, healthier and happier life, and suggest other health and wellness practitioners who can add years to your life and life to your years.

For Your Health,
