Dr. Strickland Asks...

What's the difference between maintenance, prevention and wellness?

Maintenance chiropractic care is an attempt to keep a dynamic, ever-changing and adapting organism (you) in a static relationship with your environment. Preventive chiropractic care is mostly about early detection. Wellness chiropractic care is an attempt to optimize our health and be all that you were designed to be.

Why do so many drugs require a prescription?

Because they can be dangerous? I chose a chiropractic career specifically because it avoids artificial means of pain relief. Our Meridian chiropractic practice attracts health-conscious families that prefer a safe and natural solution. Ready to get started? Call our office today.

Massage Therapy

Better Life Chiropractic now has a Massage Therapist as part of our health care team. Now you know us, we wouldn’t rush into hiring just anybody. We only get the best doctors and the best staff, and now we have brought onto our team a gifted Massage Therapist.

Allow me to introduce Junko Agena. Born and raised in Japan, she has undergone extensive training and in the great state of Texas where she acquired her Massage license. And now she moves here to Meridian where she will rebuild her clientele. Of course, training and licensing doesn’t mean anything if you don’t have that “healing touch” and caring hands to match. Well, I can tell you whole heartedly that she has all of the above.

You’ll be in good hands.

Boise Area Residents, Don’t Feel Guilty About Getting that Massage!

Every muscle in your body hurts and you’re just aching to get a massage, but it seems like such an extravagance in terms of money and time. Yet, many different activities make up a good wellness routine and massage is just one of those elements in addition to nutrition, exercise and chiropractic care. So don’t feel guilty when you call to schedule that massage!

Physical, mental and emotional health benefits of massage:

• Massage improves the circulation of oxygen-carrying blood to the extremities and helps in eliminate wastes from the body
  
  
• Massage relaxes you, relieves stress and anxiety, and supports feelings of general wellbeing
  
  
• Massage works with your chiropractic care to retrain muscles that support your spine
  
  
• Massage helps in managing the pain associated with certain physical conditions, such as arthritis and sciatica
  
  
• Massage serves to either stimulate or relax the nervous system, depending on the type of massage being administered
  
  
• Massage may have an effect on weight loss it helps to burst fat capsules and the fat is reabsorbed into the bloodstream

Just keep in mind that a massage is not a substitute for chiropractic care! Although the two may work in conjunction with one another, massage provides “feel good” therapy while chiropractic adjustments keep your nervous system functioning properly. That’s far more important than a temporary “feel good” luxury!
