“Sick” Care vs. “Health” Care
The Medical Model:
The medical model is a symptom and disease-based approach, and treats your health issues after they’ve already impacted you. The image above indicates that a person showing symptoms is in a poor state of health. This model typically focuses on individual regions or parts of the body that may be affected instead of viewing the body as a whole. People generally visit a medical doctor only after symptoms of illness appear. The mere absence of symptoms however, is a poor indicator of good health. Consider this: If you are showing symptoms of the flu today, were you really healthy yesterday? Many common health problems develop without causing immediate pain or discomfort.
The Chiropractic Model:
The chiropractic model is a wellness-based form of healthcare, and it addresses health conditions at the root cause of issues. The mission of AWE Chiropractic is to correct subluxations. These misalignments in the spine can impede the flow of energy and communication throughout the body, and prevent your nervous system from functioning properly. Nerves control all of the body’s organs, tissues, and functions. Even subtle disturbances in nerve function can lead to a decline in health, regardless of how well a person feels. Your body is constantly adapting to stress, and chiropractic plays a role in helping to restore it to normal, healthy function.
