Total Health & Wellness

If you knew you would live 100 years, how would you change your life? Centenarians are the fastest growing segment of the population. The chances are excellent that you or someone in your family will reach this milestone. How will the health choices you make today impact the quality of your life in the future? How can chiropractic care help you achieve optimum health now and allow for maximum health over the course of a lifetime?

Remember these simple, immutable facts:

1. Your brain and nervous system control everything.
2. Nervous system compromise can cause ill health.
3. Doctors cannot heal. Only your body can do that.
4. The best doctors remove barriers to your healing ability.
5. That is the purpose and power of chiropractic care.

There are two diametrically opposing paradigms in "health care"; allopathy and wellness. In the allopathic paradigm chronic illness and disease is seen as stemming from genes; humans are seen as being innately programmed for cancer, diabetes, heart disease, obesity, depression, etc. Chronic illness and disease are considered innate phenomena, the result of pathological genes expressing pathological cell, tissue, organ, system, and organism function.

The wellness paradigm views humans and other living organisms as genetically programmed for homeostasis (state of balanced function); health is an innate (inborn) phenomenon, and illness is based on adaptation to a pathological (toxic or deficient) environment.

Science, evidence and logic all seem to support the wellness hypothesis. Chronic illnesses have been increasing exponentially over the past decades. How could this be due to genetics? It is often wondered whether the allopathic genetic hypothesis would be considered for any other species. When all the fish in the Great Lakes started getting tumors and their fertility rates dropped, and the birds that ate them began to die and/or have brittle eggs, would any biologist have blamed the genes of the fish and the birds? Absolutely NOT!

So what has changed over the last century (100 years in the grand scheme of millions of years is literally a blip), our genes (impossible since they have not changed in 40,000 years) or our lifestyle choices and thus the expression of our genes? The answer is self-evident.

At Family First we practice from the wellness paradigm, use wellness interventions to restore the body-mind-spirit back to homeostasis, use wellness science to validate and support our methods and therefore DO NOT offer anything outside of this scope of practice.
