Empowered Health Care

So What is empowered health care?

I believe empowered health care is a partnership between myself and you the patient. Empowered health care starts with good communication and understanding. It will be from your initial patient history, that I will gather a lot of information about you and the reason you have sort chiropractic care. To have empowered health care, I need to understand where you are at and meet you there. Your Values and goals are important for me to understand when we are considering the direction of your care.

On the initial visit we focus on the problem that has lead you to seek chiropractic care. All the history, examination and treatment revolves around that. How we create a partnership that empowers you on our health journey, is when we work together on what lifestyle and environmental influences maybe having an effect and adding to the symptoms your body is expressing. In the new patient information questionnaire, we ask questions about previous history of trauma and illness, we ask questions about your lifestyle that cover all the important Pillar’s of Health and finally we get an idea of how stress maybe impacting various areas of your life.

It is with all the information gathered on the initial visit, we can understand WHY your body may be expressing the symptoms it is. Sometimes the WHY can be addressed alone with Chiropractic care and sometimes it can not. In the end empowered health care helps guide you to the real WHY, so you are not merely just managing the symptoms.

It will always be my goal to help you understand your nervous system and guide you to your why.

Our bodies are not seperate from the environment and the stress we experience always manifests physically. So true empowered health care must take the whole picture of your experience into consideration.

To engage in a true partnership of empowered health care requires tremendous courage. It requires us to take a personal responsibility for our healing journey. It sometimes calls us to question what shapes our views on health? What shapes your paradigm? It often requires us to stay open to challenging our views about where our true power lies.
