What is wellness? The term can be defined in many ways. Although there are a number of recognized views on what wellness encompasses, as well as many valid interpretations and models of wellness, at Delmarva Chiropractic we support the following general definitions:
- Wellness is a conscious, self-directed and evolving process of achieving your full personal potential.
- Wellness is multidimensional and holistic; an encompassing balanced lifestyle, focused on physical, mental and spiritual well-being in harmony with our surroundings, and the environment.
- Wellness is positive and affirming.
Wellness is an active process through which people become aware of, and make choices toward a more successful existence.
As a pathway to optimal living, wellness is being applied to many related fields such as health promotion and holistic health care practices. The general premises of chiropractic practice are holistic in nature, and have embraced the concept of wellness since the inception of the profession over one hundred years ago.
Chiropractic philosophy considers each individual as a unique combination of mind, body and spirit, working co-operatively throughout a person's life. Stresses brought on by internal or external sources can inhibit the ability of the body to express its powerful recuperative powers leading to loss of proper function and proper healing. The holistic approach of chiropractic seeks to identify those manifestations of stress on your neuromusculoskeletal system and eliminate them through application of a unique blend of gentle, proven, chiropractic techniques that are safe for all ages, coupled with the latest advances in clinical therapeutics.
At Delmarva Chiropractic, we aspire to treat the entire person, not just their symptoms. Toward this end, we will educate and empower you with the knowledge and inspiration needed to choose optimal health solutions for yourself and your family. Additionally, we will encourage you to take control of your health, and express total wellness towards truly optimal living!
