What The Heck Is Wellness?

How do you define wellness? Is it the absence of disease or any condition that affects your health, or is it something more? Does it simply mean feeling “good”?

The National Wellness Association defines wellness as “an active process of becoming aware of and making choices toward a more successful existence.” This is a shift away from looking at wellness as merely the absence of disease, injury or symptoms. True health involves the whole person, including our social, emotional and spiritual dimensions.

In his book, The Wellness Revolution, economist Paul Zane Pilzer predicts that wellness is becoming a major movement in health care. Instead of seeking care in reaction to a disease or condition, more and more of us are choosing to proactively safeguard our health.

Don’t confuse wellness care with the early detection strategies such as cancer screenings, pap smears and mammograms. Wellness care has more to do with making choices that help you achieve your highest potential and ensure that your body is functioning at its most optimal level.

Chiropractors are leading the wellness revolution because of our focus on enhancing the integrity of the nervous system, the underpinning of true health. By reducing subluxations that distort our ability to adapt to our environments, we each have a better foundation on which to enhance our health – physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

Those who want to be the best they can be are incorporating chiropractic care into their lives. Chiropractic, along with other healthy choices can help virtually anyone who wants to live life to the fullest. Do you know someone who should be seeing us?
