Integrating A Wellness Consultation into Practice: 
Successful Patient Outcomes with Healthy Lifestyle Choices

It is now well established that the leading causes of preventable death in the United States are modifiable health behaviors. Despite the evidence that individuals make healthy choices daily, the incidence of lifestyle diseases indicates they are not successful. It is imperative that all health care providers actively support and encourage patients to make behavior changes.

Although the doctor is trained to counsel and promote wellness during the traditional consultation by offering preventive and supportive services such as spinal assessment, scoliosis examination, tobacco/alcohol-drug cessation, and dietary considerations it is up to the individual to make lifestyle changes and personal behavior choices that lead to health and wellbeing.

That said, the question remains, do doctors have the clinical tools necessary to facilitate the patients journey toward health, wellness, and well-being, and how can they be integrated into the doctor-patient encounter?

The purpose of this lecture is to provide the doctor with an evidence-informed communication technique that can integrate with and expand the traditional consultation to include a patient discussion and plan of action that promotes health, wellness, and well-being.
