Your First Visit
A first visit to any doctor's office can make you feel uneasy. Here at the Healing and Wellness Center, we would like to take away any of that uneasy feeling we can.
Upon arriving at our office, you will be greeted, sign in, and complete a short amount of paper work.
Please bring your health information with you. Your health history will be obtained and you will be informed about the types of therapies that you may be offered as treatment.
Dr. Mowry will then review your history form and all the pertinent information in your file. Any questions that you may have will be answered at your convenience.
Dr. Mowry will decide what will be the best course of treatment for you. You will remain fully clothed for your examination and all adjustments are done as gently as possible.
When all treatments are completed a quick stop at the receptionist's window to schedule future appointments is all you will need to do. In most cases, a small co-pay is needed. This will depend on your insurance coverage.
Hopefully by being more prepared for your visit and by knowing what to expect , you will be able to just be concerned with feeling better.

Stay Hydrated, Stay Healthy
-
The average human loses between 3 and 6 liters of water on a
typical day. One to two liters rushes out as urine, and another
one-tenth liter in defecation. Water lost as vapor when you breathe
could fill around 1 to 2 liter water bottles a day and even more
in arid locations. Sweat fills up another liter on an average
day, but that amount can reach 1 to 2 liters per hour in an intense
workout.
But if you're dehydrated, that super gulp won't give you the quick fix you dream of. The body can only absorb about 1 quart per hour. Drink plenty of clean and filtered water throughout your day, every day. How much? A good rule of thumb is to drink enough water to equal 1/2 your body weight in ounces. For example: a 150 lb. person needs 75 ounces of water every day.
