Wellcare Chiropractic Center adds Weight Loss Program

Wilmington's Wellcare Chiropractic Center has recently added a new medically designed weight loss program to its roster of therapies and treatments.  

According to Leslee Quick, DC, Clinical Director for Wellcare, weight loss is not only good for cardiovascular health but joint health as well.  "Society is becoming so used to being a little overweight that we think it's the normal.  But it's anything but that.  Any additional, unhealthy weight creates increased and uneven pressure on the joints of the lower body and spine, which translates into pain.  Over time chronic weight gain results in debilitating arthritic changes in the bone that become irreversible. We chose Ideal Protein because it is medically designed, completely structured and educates for long-term results, which I have found has worked best for my patients."

Wellcare holds bi-monthly informational workshops at the Center about the Ideal Protein weight loss program.  To find out more information go to www.wellcare-center.com under services, or call (978) 658-7700 to reserve your spot at their next workshop.
