As a chiropractor, I often hear many different definitions of health. Unfortunately, most of these opinions are shaped by what we were told as children, advice from general medical practitioners, information from drug companies, athletic clubs, infomercials, and countless online sources. With all this mixed messaging, the real question becomes: how do we know the truth about genuine health?
Simply Defining Health
According to Webster’s Dictionary, health is a state of optimum physical, mental, and social well-being—not merely the absence of disease. In other words, health is not just how you feel; it is how well you function physically, mentally, and socially at your full potential.
Dorland’s Medical Dictionary defines health as a state of wholeness where all organs function at 100% all the time. There are three key components: wholeness, proper function, and consistency. Take wholeness plus 100% function, maintained over time, and you achieve health. Since we cannot replace parts of the body that are permanently damaged, maintaining proper function is the key to true health.
What Chiropractic Care Offers at Ipswich Spine Clinic
Chiropractic care focuses on the function of the body as a whole, not just the symptoms it presents. While medications or topical treatments may mask symptoms temporarily, they do not address the root cause. Chiropractic care restores optimum physical, mental, and social well-being, helping your body function at its full potential rather than simply feeling better or being symptom-free.
Our goal is simple: help your body function at 100% of its natural capability.
Ready to Help
There has never been a better time to use all available tools to improve your health. Chiropractic care complements a healthy diet and regular exercise perfectly. Regular spinal adjustments help ensure your nervous system regulates every organ in your body—not just your spine or heart.
Our practice staff is ready to support your journey to optimal health. Call today to schedule an examination and consultation and take the first step toward a healthier, stronger you.
For Your Health,
