What is functional nutrition?
A Functional Nutritional Evaluation is a comprehensive scientific assessment of your internal body that allows your doctor to see how efficiently your cells are functioning and determine your overall state of health. This in-depth assessment includes a personal and family medical history, physical exam, medical symptoms questionnaire, and Solaris test.
How is functional nutrition different from traditional medicine?
Traditional medicine is focused on the treatment of specific symptoms, body parts or conditions, often through the use of prescription medications or surgery. Functional nutrition is a patient-centered approach to care focused on identifying clinical imbalances that can affect overall health and disease conditions. These imbalances are identified by analyzing a variety of internal and external factors that can affect your health or disease condition.
Who can benefit from functional medicine?
Functional nutrition can be effective for all patients regardless of health condition. Some patients pursue functional nutrition to maintain optimal health and wellness. Others pursue functional nutrition to make lifestyle modifications or treat specific conditions without the use of drugs or other forms of therapy. Some common conditions that can be improved with functional medicine include obesity, fatigue, high blood pressure and high cholesterol.
What is chiropractic?
Chiropractic is a healthcare discipline focused on the recuperative nature of the human body and nervous system improvement through diet, exercise, stress reduction and adjustments to the body. Pain and disease can often be linked to an abnormal function of the nervous system due to irregular spinal function which cause stress on the nerve tissues and decreased mobility of the joints. Chiropractors adjust segments of the spinal column and other musculoskeletal body structures to improve operation of the nervous system. As the nervous system improves your body is better able to heal without the use of prescription drugs or surgery. Live in Wellness Chiropractic is concerned with more than just back pain, we strive to restore and maintain health and wellness through detailed analyses of disease factors (case history, nutrition, family history, exercise) and offer comprehensive chiropractic care.
What is a subluxation?
A subluxation is a partial misalignment of one or more bones in your spinal column (vertebrae). Subluxations can cause pain, inflammation, and decreased mobility in surrounding muscles, ligaments, discs and joints. Subluxations can also disrupt the natural operation of your nervous system, which can compromise normal body communication, organ function and overall health and wellness
Who can benefit from chiropractic care?
Chiropractic care is used most often to treat patients experiencing back pain, neck pain, headaches, chronic leg and arm pain, disc herniations or other joint and muscle pain. The causes of these symptoms are varied: Motor vehicle accidents, sports injuries, repetitive motion, stress or other aggravating conditions, such as arthritis or fibromylagia. Because vertebral subluxations can appear at any point in our life, chiropractic care can be used for people of all ages for many normal health problems or to maintain health and fitness. Your spine is susceptible to constant strain due to posture, accidents, improper lifting and other daily stresses. No matter what your health condition is, Live in Wellness can determine an effective treatment plan to help you achieve your optimal health.
How long does treatment last?
The average established patient office visit last from 5 minutes to 30 minutes depending on the type of treatment plan. The number of recommended treatment sessions varies. Some patients seek a treatment plan to alleviate immediate or chronic pain, which may be resolved with only several treatments. Other patients, for example health conscious individuals, use chiropractic as part of a preventive care or optimal wellness regimen that may require longer treatment sessions. Patients can also benefit from regular checkups to identify new injuries and prevent relapses. Whether your goal is pain relief, recovery or wellness care, Live in Wellness Chiropractic delivers customized treatment plans. During your initial consultation we will assess your age, health condition and personal goals, and conduct relevant diagnostic tests. After a comprehensive evaluation of these factors, we will develop a treatment schedule to best fit your needs.
What types of care do you offer?
We offer three types of care, depending on the goals of the patient. The first is relief care and it is designed for the patient that wants to come in the office only for pain relief. Corrective care is for the patient who seeks relief for pain and wants to learn the appropriate exercises to stabilize the problematic region. Wellness Care is the third and most important. It is for the patients who want to get out of pain, stabilize the problematic areas, and modify their lifestyles through better nutrition and exercise. We will meet you at the level most comfortable for you.
