Healthful Lifestyle Changes

Integrating lifestyle changes into your overall treatment plan is one of the most important therapies we use to treat many chronic health problems. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) now recommends lifestyle changes as the first line of therapy for the major chronic diseases such as heart disease, arthritis, osteoporosis, and many others. All of these conditions are coupled, one way or another, to unhealthful lifestyle choices.

Although chiropractic adjustments are integral in addressing internal functions, other fundamental actions to optimize health are often necessary. Our Portland Chiropractic Group doctors will look at your whole person health, including aspects of your lifestyle that contribute to, or detract from, your health. We believe that true health is about feeling great more days than not. A healthful lifestyle provides the energy for doing the things you want, living without pain, performing at your best, and aging gracefully and healthfully.

Our doctors will review your health concerns during private, one-on-one office visits to gain an understanding of areas in need of improvement. We may not have answers to all your concern and promise to actively partner with you and other healthcare professionals to create a formula for long-term health.

Our concept of therapeutic lifestyle changes is science-based. No magic pills, no miracle cures, no hocus pocus. True success lies in addressing the root of the problems including posture, stressors, diet, and exercises, then adhering to a long- term plan for success.
