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!

From picking up the kids to unloading groceries, lifting is part of daily life. But how we lift can make a big difference in how our back and body feel, especially over time.

Digital devices are part of modern life, from work to entertainment to staying connected. But constant screen time can take a toll on posture, mood, and sleep. That’s where a screen-free Sunday (or any regular break) may offer a much-needed reset.

When people think about gut health, digestion is usually the first thing that comes to mind. But your gut does more than process food – it plays a key role in how your whole body functions, including how you feel physically and emotionally.

Have you ever noticed that your body feels tighter or moves more slowly when the weather cools down? You’re not imagining it – weather changes may have more of an impact on how you feel than you realize.

When life gets busy, it’s often the basics – like rest, movement, and regular meals – that get pushed aside. But those small daily actions can have a big impact on how your body feels and functions.
