We often don’t stop to ask ourselves what wellness is. Is it only the absence of illness? Or is it its own thing, something better than baseline?

At Empowered Chiropractic Pain Relief & Wellness Center we firmly believe that wellness is an optimal state, way past “okay” where you feel as strong, replenished, and powerful as possible. What that feels like for you may be different than how that feels for your neighbor, or even how that felt at a younger age for you. Beyond “not sick,” it’s when all systems in your body are working optimally, easily, with minimum effort.

Ingredients to Wellness

When you’re at your healthiest, what’s going on? You’re sleeping well. Your digestive system is doing its job gracefully, without incident. Your skin, nails and hair are in good condition, and any injury you sustain heals quickly. You don’t pick up the illnesses going around at school or the office. You have energy to get things done, and your body does daily tasks almost effortlessly.

How does one reach this optimal wellness?

Not by accident. Proactive health management, fostering proper functioning for all your systems, is needed to keep your body running smoothly. The one system that connects and affects everything in your body is your nervous system. It’s the information superhighway of your body, keeping your organs and tissues healthy.

Many people think that Chiropractic Care focuses on the skeletal system. And in a way, that’s true. What chiropractic does is ensure that the spine and other skeletal junctures properly enable and protect your nervous system. Pinched or compacted nerves are like blocked roads for information and resources in your body, and Chiropractic looks to clear those roads.

Above all, you must take action to make a wellness change. To increase and maintain your best wellness, schedule a chiropractic visit. You can have your nutrition evaluated, have your posture and skeletal alignment checked, and evaluate other factors that may be the gateway to increasing your sensations of wellness.
