Paige Chiropractic and Acupuncture

One of our challenges is to educate the younger population to take advantage of chiropractic and acupuncture before conditions become chronic. Looking at the chart below you will notice that the majority of patients are between 40 and 70 years old. I can promise you that many of them tell me they wish they had seen me a long time ago.

Ideally the chart below would be flipped around so that the larger peak would be on the left and the smaller peak on the right. This would indicate that more people are coming in to take care of themselves and later on fewer complaints would arise.

Let’s not forget that the notion of “I am not in pain so I have nothing wrong” is an antiquated notion of health. There are many advantages to investing in your health and making your health more of a priority in your life as opposed to waiting until you are in pain.

Depending on the severity of the complaint our goal is to move the patient from the relief phase, through the corrective phase, to the wellness phase of care. This means that when you come in for back pain, for example, you aren’t just going to get a chiropractic adjustment or acupuncture but you most likely are going to be instructed on appropriate stretches, strengthening exercises, foam rolling, or therapeutic activities that will constitute the necessary rehab to augment your treatment, enhance your recovery, and reduce the risk of further injury.

Once you are in, or through, the corrective stage it is strongly encouraged to adapt the wellness model of addressing your health. The importance of the wellness model is to increase vitality, reduce the risk of injury, reduce the risk of medical expenses, and to positively effect those around you. The wellness model of health care is contrasted with the predominant medical model below.

It is also our goal to inspire and educate our patients so they engage with the active participation in their own health and well-being. Paige Chiropractic and Acupuncture is open to everybody and we look forward to working with you to achieve your health and wellness goals.
