Taking responsibility for your health and lifestyle choices is vital to you and your family’s well-being. We love seeing our patients and practice members getting younger and healthier every year as they commit themselves to Chiropractic Lifestyle Care and healthy lifestyle choices. Learn to love the things that are good for you and make them a priority.
Choose Your Own Hierarchy
If your Health Care Hierarchy has been crisis-motivated and you have been on a crisis roller coaster, choose to make self-care a priority and get yourself on track. Decide which self-care strategies are the most appealing to you and begin to make them a part of your lifestyle, one day at a time and one choice at a time.

Self Care – What you, utilizing your own thoughts, habits, and actions, do for yourself to keep your mind, body, and spirit healthy and functioning at your highest level.
Self-care would be brushing and flossing your teeth. Health Care is seeing a dentist. Self-Care is having good posture. Health Care is having a chiropractor examine and adjust your spine and nervous system.
