Wellness Wednesday: Focus on the Root Cause (Not the easy fix!)

We have all been in a situation where we have had aches, pains or a headache and have reached for the instant relief of Tylenol or Ibuprofen. But what is that doing? It is temporarily blocking those receptors so that we don’t “feel” the pain. It’s only a band-aid, a quick fix, not the solution.

At Well-Rooted Pediatrics, we want to address the problem.
Why are you having the pain?
Why are you having a headache?

A good thing to keep in mind is that addressing the underlying problem will not happen overnight, it’s going to take some time.

There are several remedies that are natural – from essential oils, herbs and supplements that have been shown to help different ailments without having to turn to OTC (over the counter) medication.

One thing to keep in mind though is how you feel. If you are having a stomachache due to excessive hunger or a headache due to dehydration, an essential oil or herbal is not going to help.

If we can work together to identify the ROOT cause, you will be in much better shape.

So how does one get out of the “quick fix” mindset?

Time and Education! Anyone who is making lifestyle changes is going to have to be patient with themselves as they are learning the new ropes. There are remedies that can be a quick fix, once you learn and know about them. Have faith in yourself! You can make these changes, I

I promise you. From diet changes to changing your “medicine” cabinet, they can be your new norm.

I challenge you all to pick 1thing to change in your life and focus on the root cause. We are here to help you every step of the way.

Jessica and the staff at her practice are phenomenal. We have a great experience every time we go, and love that the focus is on natural and holistic methods to the extent possible when treating our little one. We are so glad we made the Well Rooted choice!

My first time with the Oakbrook office and staff has been the kind of experience I’ve longed for. Although I have only been there twice(in one week), it’s the most genuine communication I’ve had from a doctor’s office. I’ve been searching for a practice that treats our family as more than just a number, and I’m truly grateful for the care and attention to detail they’ve provided. The follow-up phone calls and the extra check-up were instrumental in demonstrating their practice’s excellent understanding of bedside manners and true thoughtfulness that his sickness matters.

Great practitioners who will listen and advise but not be pushy

This practice is incredible! They are very friendly and welcoming. I was recommend to this practice from a relative and I couldn’t be happier. I’ve taken my son here twice so far and they have been great with him. What I also like is that it is a judgement free office. They respect my decisions regarding my son and always give me the best advice and service. They’ve answered all of my questions and concerns as well as took their time with us during our visit. Highly recommend!

Doctors and medical offices have always given me fear. Not with this place! Some of the nicest most catering people I have ever met with truly good intentions! We love this place! The kids love the atmosphere with Great Wall art to look at. We feel like family here! They take the time to explain things and do not rush us out the door. Thank you all for all the love you share with our family!
