FREE HEALTH WORKSHOPS TO BENEFIT YOU (AND YOUR ORGANIZATION)


Wellness for Life Chiropractic conducts regular free health workshops at our WfLC office; and also conducts free workshops at requested venues for organizations like corporate companies and schools.

WHAT?
This is an effort to educate everyone (parents, students, desk-bound workers, elderly, sports enthusiasts etc.) on the importance of:
. POSTURE
. ERGONOMICS
. SPINAL HEALTH
We offer a broader understanding on preventing and managing NECK/BACK PAIN and other spine-related HEALTH PROBLEMS.

WHY?
Basic education in schools-
Teaches the importance of respiratory, blood circulatory and digestive system but not about the importance of the spine and the nervous system; or how our posture can affect our spine, nervous system and health.

Society-
We are constantly reminded to do regular health maintenance and checks for our teeth, eyes, heart, lungs but very rarely for the spine.

Awareness-
Spinal-related health problems due to modern lifestyle are just as prolific and life-threatening as other lifestyle diseases like diabetes, heart problems, obesity etc.
With this modern lifestyle and the lack of education and awareness on spine and posture care, an increasing number of people are suffering from spinal and postural-related diseases or disabilities.

HOW?
WfLC hopes to make the change by bringing on more awareness and education with our free health workshops.
WfLC also aims to educate all on the need to get their posture and spine checked like they do with their regular dental and health checks.
We endeavor to make Spinal Checkup affordable and easily available through these free services.

Therefore, we will offer a comprehensive Spinal Checkup to all participants at a reduced fee after each Workshop.
