First State Health & Wellness has been providing award-winning integrative healthcare and education for over 30 years. Services among 7 offices across Delaware include Chiropractic, Acupuncture, Whole-Body Cryotherapy, Massage, Functional Nutrition, Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression and Rehabilitation. In practice as well as online, we strive for excellence-so thank you for taking the time to visit our page! Our approach is simple. We believe that health is among our most valuable possessions. And while we generally meet people after they’ve lost their health, our commitment is two-fold:

1. Relief Care
When many people seek care in our office they have one goal: relief. So that’s where we start! During this initial stage of intensive care, we have several obligations:

Uncover the underlying cause of the health problem
Suggest a care plan to produce the fastest results possible
Offer ways patients can participate in their recovery
Explain the value of post-symptomatic wellness care

2. Wellness Care
We encourage our patients to achieve the highest levels of health they can. Through educational opportunities (like this website), we hope to communicate the value of ongoing chiropractic care. Our desire is to see our practice members abandon the prevailing sickness care model of health (waiting for symptoms and then taking action), in favor of the emerging wellness model. Regardless of your health goals, please understand that we see ourselves as mere servants. You’re the boss! It’s your body, your health and your future. Our job is to offer you the finest chiropractic care possible, and it’s up to you to decide how much of it you want. Sound interesting? Please select a convenient location and schedule your appointment today!

We often think about hydration as it relates to our skin, kidneys, or energy levels. But did you know that the discs in your spine are among the most water-dependent structures in your entire body? And, the effects of not drinking enough water can show up in your back before they show up anywhere el...

You got your full eight hours, yet when your alarm goes off, your body feels locked in position. Your neck is tight, your back aches, and it takes ten minutes of moving around before you feel remotely human.
