The World Health Organisation defines health as optimum physical, mental and social well-being, not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. Daily back pain or tension headaches can affect your mood, reduce your concentration and energy levels and stop you doing the activities you love. Here at Wells Chiropractic and Osteopathy Centre, we believe that if your body and nervous system can function at their best, this will not only allow you to heal more quickly, but can lead to improved well-being and the ability to live your life to the full.
Therefore, our techniques aim to restore healthy alignment and movement to your spine and joints, decreasing interference to your nervous system and improving your general health. It's hard to keep fit and mobile if you're in pain and can't move!
Your nervous system controls every single process in your body with a continuous flow of 'messages' between your brain, spine, organs and limbs that keeps you alert and able to adapt to all of the stresses that life can throw at you. This could be physical stress such as lifting, sitting at a computer all day, carrying a baby or just getting older. Or, it could be emotional and mental stress that negatively 'overloads' your nervous system leading to physical tension and increased stress hormones in your body that deplete your immunity.
We don't just look at your symptoms, we look for the root cause of why you're not getting better and then aim to help you function at your optimum. To do this we use hands-on techniques (adjustments, HVT's, massage and acupuncture) that remove interference from your nervous system, in combination with exercise guidance and lifestyle advice. We are absolutely committed to helping you get better and live life to the full!
