You can't achieve real health from the outside in. You have to do it from the inside out! Our chiropractors and massage therapists are not healing you during an adjustment or a massage. Instead, your body is healing itself. Our job is to remove barriers to healing so your body can heal. Wellness is about self-development, mindfulness, and living by healthy principles. To help you understand this process, Healthy Life Chiropractic uses five pillars of health that we believe to be the key ingredients to achieving optimal wellness and spinal health.

The 5 Pillars of Health:

1. Nutrition

Nutrition can be the medicine you are missing! You should try to buy fresh, local, and good-quality ingredients. Ingredients closest to their source are usually the healthiest since they have not been frozen or shipped. Include a variety of different types of food in your diet, and aim for at least seven servings of fruits and vegetables daily! Maintaining proper hydration is also crucial, so drink plenty of water throughout the day.

2. Exercise

Exercise doesn't have to involve several hours of strenuous activity every day. Start with small habits like walking for thirty minutes daily and then progress to strength training three times a week. Another important factor of exercise is maintaining flexibility and mobility. This can be done by stretching for a few minutes before and after sleep.

3. Social Health

Physical and social health are equally important. If you can, try to meet with friends and family at least once a week. Socializing helps us cope with the daily stress we face. It is also important to take some time to enjoy your favorite hobbies.

4. Sleep

Sleep is crucial for your body to rest and prepare for the day ahead. If you have trouble sleeping, try to determine what's causing it. For example, you might need to change your eating habits or get treatment for untreated pain. There are many ways to improve your sleep: consulting a specialist like a chiropractor, turning off the television an hour before bed, or upgrading your bedding. For your body to heal, you need to sleep.

5. Mental Health

To maintain good health and overall wellness, you must take care of your mental health. There is no all-encompassing cure, but people often find some general techniques helpful. Some helpful tips: practice meditation and proper breathing, maintain a balance between work and home life and do not try to influence beyond your scope of control.

"I was experiencing a lot of pain in my feet following the birth of my son. I was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis in both feet. After seeing my PCP and being prescribed anti-inflammatory medication, I looked into the benefits of Chiropractic care. I was in so much pain from the plantar fasciitis that is because difficult for me to walk. I was unable to carry my newborn and walk because I was concerned for his safety. As part of my care plan, custom orthotics were recommended. Within days of receiving my orthotics I had a reduction in my pain. Regular Chiropractic visits and my orthotics have allowed me to be able to care for my son again!"

"I worked for Wal-Mart for 20 years walking on hard floors 10 hours a day. I felt a horrible pain in my right hip/buttocks area and could not bend or walk. My sister did a little research and recommended Healthy Life Chiropractic- They do EVERYTHING! After the first treatment, the pain was gone! After being educated on my problems, they worked on my whole body and it feels 100% better. I have never been a good sleeper, but I am sleeping much better and get up in the morning ready to go! I have never felt better!"

"My daughter came in to see Dr. Rob for possible curve in her spine. She was officially diagnosed with scoliosis after her evaluation. As parents, we were having a hard time wrapping out heads around what that meant for our beautiful 8 year old girl. Dr. Rob, Dr. Tina, and the whole staff at Healthy Life Chiropractic have been phenomenal! After 2 months of treatment- regular adjustments and exercises- we are seeing a huge improvement! Her hips are aligned now, her feet meet properly, and she is feeling better all around. We haven’t retaken her x-rays yet- not until we’ve done treatment for a whole year- but based off our experience, and results we’ve seen so far, I am confident that her curve has not gotten worse and has probably even improved!"

- Margaret Wearne

"I began my chiropractic care in October 2017 because of increased pain and decreased mobility in my left hip that had gotten increasingly worse over the previous 4-5 months. I love that I have been able benefit from whole body treatment that in turn has almost completely taken away the issues I was experiencing with my hip. I am so grateful for feeling good again and I highly recommend Healthy Life for your chiropractic care and total life wellness."

"I have been a patient at Healthy Life Chiropractic for over 3 years! After driving several hundred miles a week and spending time on the computer for work, I not only get regular adjustments, I utilize the massage therapists as well. I've recently begun using, with success, Standard Process supplements and Doterra Essential Oils. I appreciate the holistic approach to care by all of the staff at Healthy Life!"

-Debbie Fambro

"I have been coming to Healthy Life Chiropractic for over a year now. The treatments I receive give me such a relief of stress. The personnel is a big part of my relief. They are terrific and very professional. Dr. Tina is very educated in her field. Between treatments and supplements, I am feeling much better. I would, and have, recommend Dr. Tina to my friends."
