Welcome to Better Health & Wellness 

It is said that, a journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step. So it is when you decide to step towards a more fulfilling lifestyle; one that reflects the true nature of what it means to be a vital, healthy human being. 

"Unleashing the Power

of

Spirit, Mind and Body

Through the Integration of Personal Wellness Practices."

Why make the change?

Perhaps you have heard the following: We are Spiritual Beings, having a human experience rather than being a human, having a spiritual experience.

Consider this… all that we now understand about the nature of life, points us inextricably towards the truth that everything in the universe, down to its smallest measurable quanta, is Energy. Einstein, all the physicists of his time and those today working in the field of quantum physics, fully appreciate the implications; everything is connected to everything else because of this universality of matter, all derived from and still part of, the same universal "stuff".

Given that this is the reality, doesn’t it make sense that having a healthier body makes the experience of being human that much more spiritual?

We invite you to search through these pages. You may discover that you are on a road, perhaps for the first time, that can lead you towards your life goals, whatever they may be ~ greater health, sense of life in balance, joyfulness, a stronger connection spiritually, a greater sense of belonging ~ all of which are components to what we know as a profound sense of well-being.

In order to achieve this sense of well-being, we need to define our core values, create life systems that support those beliefs while releasing those habits that do not support us in our beliefs.

That's why we created the wellness center, Better Health & Wellness. Our goal is to provide a healthy environment for the Body, the Mind, and the Spirit, because without balance in this triad, the struggles continue; be it in Weight Management, declining or chronic Physical Expression or Emotional Stasis (doing the same behavior over and over while expecting a different result). Adding these critical components to 21st Century chiropractic, Better Health & Wellness fulfills one of its long term goals; to provide a haven for those wishing to truly follow a healthy life style that leads to personal fulfillment.

Integration of Key Elements

Better Health & Wellness recommends the following regimens. You can choose which components you would like, but we have discovered that by understanding that health is a balance between Body, Mind and Spirit, you might choose to let us help guide you to those areas of care best suited for your stated needs, wants and desires.

Chiropractic »

It's not about the presence or absence of a pain or a symptom. It's about how well or poorly your body is functioning on a neurological level. The practice of chiropractic is singularly focused on identifying and correcting that underlying cause of dysfunction in the body. This "cause" is a disruption in the flow of nerve impulse along the billions of nerve fibers that work in concert and in conjunction with the brain, to direct and coordinate all functions of the body. Correct that which interferes with function and the body returns to a state of balance.

Better Health & Wellness, est. 1988

Since 1988, we have provided advanced chiropractic and motivational care to Simi Valley, the surrounding communities of Ventura, and Los Angeles. We have attracted an International clientele as well, some from as far away as Australia and China. We welcome all, believing everyone can benefit from having chiropractic intervene on behalf of their body.

Our Approach is Simple

We believe that the quality of your life is in direct proportion to the quality of your health. That makes your health your most valuable possession. And while we often begin with people after they’ve lost a significant portion of that asset, our commitment to assisting people in their quest for better health 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: 

  • Address the underlying causes of their current health problem
  • Identify sub threshold factors that have yet to become symptomatic
  • Suggest a protocol designed to produce the fastest results possible
  • Encourage active client participation in their own recovery
  • Make real the significant 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 at our Wellness Center. Our desire is to see our practice members abandon the prevailing sickness care model of health (waiting for symptoms and then taking action to suppress them), in favor of the emerging wellness model that deals with the underlying cause.

Lifestyle Coaching  »

These sessions can be designed for One-On-One experience or Group sessions (4 to 7 people). In part, what you will learn through this coaching, is how to identify what motivates you and what is keeping you stuck in your present or past situation. You may be repeating 'old business' and until you can identify the cause, you can't begin to heal from the wounds that resulted in those experiences. You will be empowered to change your perception of events and from there, you will create a new way of living. If you work at it, it works for you!

Body/Body Image Transformation »

Obesity, or just being over-your-weight, is intimately connected to our Emotional state, both past and present. (This approach is often combined with the Lifestyle Coaching). It's not that we don't know that eating the wrong foods makes us fat, it's what lies behind the behavior that must be address in order to break the cycle of binge dieting. This is the program for you if you want to change your eating for the better, forever. You can finally and forever, break the cycle, without starving, without shame and without fear of backsliding.

Nutrition Counseling »

We are associated with one of the most sought after nutritionists in the country and she is available through our office for guidance. Add this to any of the other programs and your results will be turbo charged.

Acupuncture »

We associate with a cadre of acupuncturists throughout East and West Ventura County. We know them personally and trust them professionally. We match you to the one best suited for your needs.

Massage Therapy »

Again, we associate with a number of professionals that specialize in specific techniques that we feel that will enhance our other programs.

Nutritional Supplementation and Herbals »

It is well known that our food supplies, even from the best sources, now lack the nutrients that 100 years ago were plentiful. The nutrient is in the top soil and as we continue to cover it up with cement and asphalt, the land that is farmable is being over-farmed. Supplements are a great way to 'supplement' the nutrients we need on a daily basis. It is also true that, not all supplements are made equal. Let us help you pick the right one and we have spent a great deal of time researching and developing relationships with those companies who demonstrate the highest quality and consistency of products for this purpose.

Many of our clients who find value in our associated products conveniently purchase their supplements, herbals and other useful items, though our Meta-E link [click here] to see a complete list of recommended general nutrition and other supplements we will make recommendations for you after we begin working with you.

Your Body. Your Choice

Regardless of your health goals, please understand that we see ourselves as your health care partner; mentoring and coaching you if you desire, in your pursuit of a healthy lifestyle. Ultimately, it's your decision! It’s your body, your health and your future. Our job is to offer you the finest chiropractic service possible, and it’s up to you to decide how much of it you want.

Dr. Michael Asks some important questions of interest to Simi Valley residents - Chiropractor Simi Valley Dr. Michael Asks...

Why are some people allergic to pollen and others aren't?
It's not the pollen. Chiropractors know that if it were, everyone would be allergic to pollen, nuts and pet dander. But that's not the case. It's the person, not the pollen! If you live in Simi Valley and your stress levels are high, then each year the grass, the trees or the weeds put your nervous system over the top. Many report that chiropractic care helps reduce the frequency and severity of their allergic response.
How do most people deal with subluxations?
First, they try to ignore them. When they don't, they go to the medicine cabinet to stop their brain from feeling the symptom. Later, back surgery may be threatened. Sadly, it's not until this later stage that they consult our Simi Valley chiropractic office. Yet, even with the delay, most are delighted by the results produced by today's chiropractic care. Contact us and let's get started.
