The Long Arc of Wellness: Stories From Patients in Long-Term Care
Healing rarely follows a straight line, and for patients like Ebony and Sarah, the long arc of wellness has been less about perfection and more about partnership. Ebony went from sleepless nights and stress-knotted stomachs to coaching tennis again with ease, crediting the way her physical healing unlocked mental clarity. Sarah found her footing too as clearer sinuses, newfound strength, and rooted confidence reshaped how she moves through the world. Their stories remind us that long-term care isn’t a quick fix; it’s a rhythm, a relationship, a shedding of old layers over time. And in that slow, steady transformation, liberation begins.
Wellness Isn’t Just Self-Care—It’s Community Care
When we think of “wellness,” we often imagine something private and personal. But at Kaname Chiropractic, healing is never just a solo practice—it’s something we co-create in community.
