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 visi

t 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!

When was the last time you noticed your breathing? Not during exercise or a deep sigh, but just in a quiet moment. Because breathing happens automatically, it often goes unnoticed. Yet paying attention to how you breathe may play a helpful role in your overall well-being.

When it comes to making healthy choices, we often focus on diet and exercise – both are crucial, of course. But there’s another essential habit that often gets overlooked: drinking enough water.

"I was told at a young age that I needed back surgery, but thank God I sought the advice and care of a chiropractor. So fortunate to have found Dr DelCampo after moving to Delaware. He has worked patiently and cheerfully with me to keep me mobile and pain-free. And the staff are both competent and friendly, hard to find in today's service and medical environment. Keep in mind that surgery is "an option," not necessarily a mandate, and often has negative results. Very grateful to First State for keeping me mobile, "intact" and pain free!" -J.Z.

Our chiropractors work diligently to educate and support our patients in finding the most-effective care with optimal results, without medication or surgery. Feeling frustrated? Call one of our award-winning offices to explore your options. Contact information is available at FirstStateHealth.com
