We Use a Whole Team Approach to Chiropractic Instead of Just “Cracking Backs”

Functional Medicine is an approach to health that searches for the root cause of chronic conditions. The focus is to reverse disease processes and restore health naturally and without the use of medications. Functional Medicine allows the practitioner to look at the body as a whole, instead of focusing on only one system at a time. The human body is highly integrated and each system affects how the rest of the body functions. No nutritional recommendations are made until the objective results have been thoroughly analyzed. A patient’s symptom is usually only the tip of the iceberg, with the altered physiology lying just below the surface. Do you want to learn about the cause of your illness instead of learning how to live with it? Call Advantage Health and Wellness for your initial consultation today!

Many times when a person calls our office, it is to get out of pain. They have been injured in a car crash, a sporting event, or work-related injury. Some have just let a postural problem or stress just take a toll on them for too long. Many of the people that seek us out for pain relief have to sit at a desk 8-10 hours a day or have to stand or drive all day long.

When this happens, we are ready to help get you out of pain fast, teach you how to change the habits that started the problem and get you back to life. Most times we will recommend a treatment plan that best addresses your problem and achieves your goals. Recovery is rarely immediate so know what to expect and how to predict your type of care that best fits your goals.

Why physical Medicine versus simply taking a pill? Of course, you have a choice as to whether your problem is a priority enough for you to come and see us. This treatment does, after all, require a commitment from you. Taking a pill to dull or mask pain can seem an easy solution. So may doing nothing about the problem…we call that the “wait and see approach”. Physical medicine is about understanding what created the problem in the first place and correcting it. Or in the case of an injury, it is about allowing the healing process to occur faster and more completely – attempting to make your body heal the right way so you are not left with long-term residual problems from the injury, usually in the form of scar tissue or degenerative joints.

It is always your choice, but this approach is for a person who knows that taking the pain pill is not really fixing anything. Many of our patients come to us after they have found that popping pills for the past several years has not fixed anything, allowed the real underlying cause to get worse, and may now be dealing with the side effects of long-term pain pills or over the counter anti-inflammatory use – kidney, liver, or stomach issues. We will be here for you when the time is right for you.

Wellness is a term that has been over and improperly utilized in my opinion”, says Dr Trembush. Just because you get a massage does not mean you enjoy wellness. Also – simply by not having pain, is your body enjoying wellness or even good health necessarily? In fact, getting a yearly breast examination is not “wellness”. Wellness is a state of optimal health. It is enjoyed by those who commit themselves to lifestyle habits that allow the body to function without interference with its natural ability to adapt and create homeostasis.

Your health and wellness are determined by a combination of several factors that could be broken down into three main categories. Physical health, mental health, and physiological (or chemical) health. These categories may entail subcategories of financial, spiritual, emotional, family, and many other types of health. They all can affect your body’s overall ability to maintain homeostasis – or its ability to adapt to its environment and remain free of disease.”

All of these aspects of health must be addressed when needed to attain “wellness”. Here at Advantage Health & Wellness, we appreciate that we are only able to help with some of these categories but can always identify when you need to see someone who specializes in an area of health that we do not. Our services of preventative healthcare or wellness are listed below and mainly focus on the physiological and physical states of health. As we grow, we may become more capable of helping with other forms of wellness.
