The Wellness Difference

There’s a lot of talk about Wellness Care these days. But what is it? It’s easier to see the appeal of this growing cultural trend when you compare it with other types of care:

Relief Care

Many people begin here. Their ache, pain or other symptom is often what prompts them to begin chiropractic care. Careful! If you stop care as soon as you feel better, you’ll invite a relapse. Muscles and soft tissues heal after symptoms disappear.

Corrective Care

With the most obvious symptoms reduced, many of our patients opt to continue their care. This helps stabilize and strengthen their spine. Rehabilitative care builds on the investment used to get relief and helps make changes longer lasting. Some insurance companies recognize the value of corrective care, but many do not.

Maintenance Care

Regular chiropractic care can help maintain your progress and avoid a relapse. The intention is to help you preserve your progress so far. Your visit schedule varies based on your age, condition and the stresses in your life. Preserving your progress is valuable, but there are still more possibilities.

Preventive Care

Beyond preservation, is the realm of prevention. Periodic chiropractic checkups can help catch new problems early. This can minimize the severity of flare-ups. Those who value their health often take this proactive approach. Early detection, while worthwhile, is a defensive approach to one’s health.

Wellness Care

Simply put, we experience life through our nervous system. That’s why optimizing our spine and nervous system is the key to becoming all that we can be. Your nervous system learns. Chiropractic care and other healthy habits, create new possibilities to grow, develop and take our lives to ever-higher levels.

Dr. Kurt  Asks some important questions of interest to Traverse City residents - Chiropractor Traverse City Dr. Kurt Asks...

What causes vertebral subluxations?
Chiropractors acknowledge three types of stress: physical, chemical and emotional. When the adaptive capacity of your body is compromised, weakened areas along the spine can become involved. Muscles tighten, spinal joints lock up and nearby nerves are affected. The purpose of chiropractic care is to find these areas and restore balance, alignment and motion.
What's the difference between maintenance, prevention and wellness?
Maintenance chiropractic care is an attempt to keep a dynamic, ever-changing and adapting organism (you) in a static relationship with your environment. Preventive chiropractic care is mostly about early detection. Wellness chiropractic care is an attempt to optimize our health and be all that you were designed to be.
