7 Essentials to Health & Well-Being
at Powell Chiropractic Clinic, Inc.
A great deal of time, energy, and funding from researchers in healthcare and science are spent investigating the causes of disease. What is the cause of arthritis, cancer, heart disease, depression and a variety of issues we as Americans are plagued with? Have you wondered what makes one person healthy while others always seem to be sick?
While genetics play a role in determining our health, lifestyle is just as important, perhaps even more so. Stress is a significant contributing factor to why and when we get sick. The good news is Powell Chiropractic Clinic, Inc. has developed a simple, yet profound explanation of the cause of good health–what we call “Seven Essentials to Health & Wellness,” created by Dr. Powell. You can read an explanation about each of these essentials below.
Providing Many Health-Promoting Services
At Powell Chiropractic Clinic, Inc., we offer a comprehensive array of services that support the Seven Essentials to Health and Wellness. While our first floor is dedicated to chiropractic and our second floor is dedicated to our Health & Wellness Department. At our Health and Wellness Department, we can address areas such as digestive or hormonal issues that may be contributing to health problems.
To complete our wellness care, we also have a full-spine Rehabilitation Center featuring MedX equipment. It’s here where we talk to patients about strength, fitness, and being active. We work with patients to create specialized programs to increase their muscle function and strength.
Whether you’re experiencing an imbalance in your spine or have issues because of the foods you’re eating or not eating, our doctors can help you get back in balance. We look forward to helping you become stronger, healthier, happier, and more alive!
Your Seven Essentials to Health and Well-Being
- Structure Affects Function
The structure of the body affects its function. Body posture and alignments are important to keep the energy flowing in the body. We’ll show you how to recognize postural balance in yourself and others.
- What You Eat and Drink
Eating the foods most appropriate to your body type and how your body metabolizes that food is fundamental to weight management. Also, are you getting the right amount of water? How much is necessary? What type of water is best?
- Digest – Assimilate – Eliminate
Most everyone that has constant digestive or elimination problems is overweight due to their body’s inability to digest food, assimilate nutrients, and then eliminate its waste.
- Balanced Hormone System
It is necessary to understand the endocrine system and how sex hormones, insulin, thyroid, and the adrenals affect your daily health.
- Exercise
To burn calories, remove waste and improve circulation, exercise is essential to health. Finding the correct method for each individual will provide the most benefit.
- Stress Management/Self Help
Understanding the three primary causes of stress (physical, nutritional/chemical and emotional), then learning the most effective methods of dealing with stress, including how to relax and enjoy better sleep, will improve your health.
- What You Think About Affects Your Health
Our thoughts affect our health, happiness, and success in life. If you want to change your life, you have to change the way you think. Proverbs declares that “as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.” There are ways to re-frame your thoughts, to not be negative, and to develop a purpose-seeking attitude.
