Where in Erie is Creating Wellness? An introduction

Where in Erie, PA is Creating Wellness?In October 2008, Krauza Family Chiropractic introduced a new model of chiropractic and wellness to the Erie community. Krauza Family Chiropractic: A Creating Wellness Center believes, in order to achieve true wellness, one must address the physical, biochemical, and psychological dimensions of life. We like to say: BE FIT. EAT RIGHT. THINK WELL. This blog will discover places in our region that focus on these dimensions to help Erie residents create wellness in their lives one day at a time, for a lifetime.

The concept of wellness is not new, rather it is something humans have all considered and sought since the dawn of time. The problem is that the majority of us have looked in the wrong place. We have looked to outside sources, rather than looking inwards to ourselves. Our country currently spends over $2 trillion in health care, unfortunately we continue to grow unhealthier as a society every year.

It is obvious our current approach is not only not working, but also failing. Why? It comes down to several factors that can be summed up with one word: LIFESTYLE. 1. Humans like to symptom treat vs. address the underlying cause of a symptom. This is evident in health care, but also in almost every other aspect of human life. 2. We humans do not like to take responsibility for our lives. We want someone else to be responsible for what happens or for our misfortunes. 3. Most of us no longer actively participate in our lives, rather just go through the daily motions and just exist. We accept things as the status quo or fail to ask, "Why?"I'm not claiming to have all the answers, nor am I suggesting it will be easy or quick to solve what ails us as a culture. I do believe the solution is simple, though.

Wellness is not something you either have or you don't. It is a continuum. Every decision we make in life moves us towards or way from wellness. Krauza Family Chiropractic: A Creating Wellness Center believes we have the tools, resources, and support to allow you to reclaim your life. Each week, I will introduce places, concepts, themes across the Erie region that will provide you with opportunities to achieve a state of wellness you may have once thought was impossible to achieve.If you feel that something in your life is holding you back, please, join with Krauza Family Chiropractic: A Creating Wellness Center to grow a new mindset of health and wellness within the Erie community. How will you create wellness in your life?

Until next week,


BE FIT. EAT RIGHT. THINK WELL.
