Wellness Is Our Passion... Your Health Our Purpose


The wellness professionals at Faulkner Wellness Center know that optimal health is more than being symptom free.

When you are experiencing optimal health and wellness, you are able to energetically move through life not just physically but also emotionally.

Most people don't feel "well" enough to be kind, forgiving, or understanding at that moment of stress. Their body is exhausted just trying to keep up with the demands essential to staying alive. The Wellness Paradigm addresses what your body needs to experience life energetically, creatively and lovingly.

In his book The Stress of Life, Hans Selye, teaches us that there is only one human condition to treat; stress.   And despite the source of stress, (structural, nutritional, or emotional) the body will respond in a “physiologically identical manner”.   As a medical student, Selye was impressed with the fact that most disease processes began with the same, seemingly benign symptoms.  It was only after these symptoms became a full-blown disease to be named or diagnosed that a treatment could be prescribed.  Unfortunately the treatment would be based on the present symptoms and not the initial cause or stress.

Our current medical system does not address the initial cause of stress that initiates disease.  Our medical doctors are trained and educated to be more like emergency care doctors.  Once the body can no longer maintain homeostasis and symptoms are beyond tolerance – our medical system steps in with the medical band-aid – medications that have nothing to do with the initiating stress.  Most times the band aid actually creates more stress in the very area that was stressed to begin with!

In 1988, Surgeon General C. Everett Koop issued a report on health and nutrition to the country emphasizing chronic degenerative diseases.  Dr. Koop stated in his report that chronic degenerative diseases such as heart disease, stroke, cancer, and diabetes must be prevented since the search for cures was fruitless and the treatment and rehabilitation cost-prohibitive.

May 2010 Newsweek reported, “We have a medical care system that rewards disease”.  

6 Interferences

Your body's natural state is well-being unless it is interfered with. Our wellness center recognizes 6 interferences that cause stress in the body;

 By helping your body eliminate or effectively deal with any interference, stress is reduced or eliminated and normal function is restored. As the body functions at a higher capacity, disease processes begin to reverse, health returns and wellness begins

FWC is committed to true “health care”.  We strive to ascertain true cause; physical (spine), chemical (nutrition) and/or emotional (stress).  We have adopted protocols that are effective in producing quick and long lasting physical results.  Our nutrition protocols start with helping you properly breakdown the food you eat rather than “throwing vitamins at symptoms”.  Stress consultation focuses on giving you tools to use on a daily basis to relax into a state of peace and still maintain motivational energy.
