What is a wellness chiropractor?
As a wellness chiropractor we look at the functioning of your life as a holistic unit with many dimensions: physical, biological, emotional, mental, spiritual, social and cultural.
This is very different from the views of more traditional Western health care approaches. The paradigm generally associated with today's western health care is a model wherein one party (the 'healer'/therapist/professional) does something to restore the other (the healee/therapee/patient) to a prior state of functioning. The view is that diseases are problems that must be fixed usually isolated from the rest of life and denied their depth of meaning.
A wellness chiropractor by contrast, applies concepts of reorganizational healing such that it gives individuals concrete tools to explore and use the meanings of their symptoms, problems and life-stressors as catalysts to taking new and sustained action to create a more fulfilling and resilient life.
"Instead of being meaningless, people's problems become diseases of meaning, enabling people to see that things are not necessarily "going wrong" but are in fact, helping them become stronger, to live more fully and with more understanding." Jobst, Shostak and Whitehouse, 1999
Our goal is to create a partnership with you in health, to help you isolate what is challenging you in life and help you create the resources for you to move forward. Instead of restoring you to a place you were just before the brink of disaster, we want you to be empowered to reclaim your life with consciousness, bringing you to a deeper place of understanding and appreciation with an ability to thrive and connect to that incredible mind-body-spirit wisdom and harmony.
