Functional Performance Chiropractic and Wellness

Functional Performance Chiropractic and Wellness Doctor Nathan Lauenstein is a chiropractor at Functional Performance Chiropractic and Wellness in Om At FPCW our focus is human wellness.

We start with the health of the spine and nervous system because the spine is the foundation of movement and movement is the foundation of wellness. In addition the spine houses the nervous system which controls and coordinates all of the functions of the human body. Disturbances in motion and position place stress on the nervous system that negatively effects health. Crossfitter, weight lifters, runners, football players and virtually all athletes benefit from regular chiropractic care. However, as our society becomes more sedentary this type of care becomes crucial for everyone. Sitting in an office wreaks havoc on the health of our spine and nervous system. At FPCW we analyze the functional health of the spine and get you MOVING on a path toward health and function! We also offer Wellness Workshops that focus on eating moving and thinking for wellness.

Can exercise help with knee arthritis? 🏃‍♂️💪

A new study found that higher training volume (more sets) can reduce knee pain, as long as it doesn’t cause flare-ups.

Too much load can aggravate symptoms, and too little won’t help. Finding the right balance is key!

Want to support your brain health? Lace up your shoes! 👟

A new study found that in older adults, walking 5,000–7,500 steps per day was associated with slower mental decline, even in those with early signs of Alzheimer’s.

Movement helps the brain clear harmful proteins that contribute to the development of Alzheimer’s disease.

Next time you walk the dog, park farther away, or take the stairs, remember: you’re not just exercising… you’re investing in your future brain. 🧠

Here’s one more reason to choose chiropractic first!

An extensive study of nearly 50,000 adults found that people who received spinal manipulation for new low back pain were:

✅ 80% less likely to develop opioid use disorder
✅ 77% less likely to become long-term opioid users
✅ Less likely to be prescribed opioids in the first place

The takeaway? Chiropractic care is an evidence-based, drug-free approach that helps you feel better without the risks of long-term medication. ✨
