A Look at Wellness Care from Injury Health Center

There is often some confusion between what wellness care and acute care are. When something is acute, it means that is new. Like spraining an ankle over the weekend. If untreated it would become chronic. Wellness care focuses on prevention more than treatment.

At the Injury Health Center, we consider wellness to be natural care without drugs that can not only eliminate health problems but prevent them. We strongly believe that drugs, even if they do what they claim, have serious long-term and short-term side effects. Health is affected by several things. The most obvious is trauma. You may say that you have not been hurt in a while. What about when you were younger?

How many times did you fall? Did you play sports? I’m certain that you just dusted yourself off and went about your day as if nothing happened. The problem is that any injury left untreated will develop scar tissue and eventually become arthritic as you get older. The good news is it’s never too late to address your old injuries. You can’t change the past but you can certainly do something about the future. This is why wellness care is so important. The sooner you can address the problem the better your chances of not developing scar tissue. Studies show the healing time increases exponentially when the inured area is treated immediately. This is why every major sports team, the Olympic team, and most athletes all seek wellness care on a regular basis. They know the importance of it and have experienced it firsthand.
