SOURCE OF WELLNESS (S.O.W.) is a Non-Profit Center dedicated to sowing the seeds of holistic bodywork to advance personal and planetary change.
Our Purpose
To help expand access to underprivileged populations by providing chiropractic care and holistic bodywork to seniors, students and low-income individuals and families so they can achieve greater balance, ease, and stability.
Our Mission
To guide underserved communities on a path to their highest potential by improving their physical and emotional-mental wellbeing, empowering them to create the best possible life for themselves and to share that energy in service to others.
About S.O.W.
Founded in 2022 by Dr. Omri Sitton, D.C., Source of Wellness (S.O.W) is a 501(c)3 created to address a glaring disparity in alternative health care access. As such, S.O.W strives to “SOW” the seeds of a wellness lifestyle, extending its benefits to underserved and financially sensitive populations.
Over his two decades of providing chiropractic care to people from all walks of life, Dr. Sitton noticed that those who seek out chiropractic and bodywork tend to be more affluent and had better access to alternative healthcare modalities that are generally not freely available through our current Medicaid and Medicare healthcare models. This phenomenon effectively freezes out less fortunate demographics who might be in need of support.
The immensely expensive healthcare system in the U.S., with its continued reduction of benefits and overinflation of costs for its use, is fostering a call to action towards new approaches for living healthy, active lives. It’s a proven fact that preventative healthcare is cheaper than “sickness care.”
Research in chiropractic care, specifically, has been shown to lower costs of prescribed medicine and hospitalizations, especially when combined with traditional medicine.
- Here’s a study on lowering costs of opioid use through chiropractic care
- Here’s a Harvard Medical School study on chiropractic care’s effectiveness for pain relief
- Here’s an article on the expanding field of chiropractic as updated in the American College of Physicians’ guidelines
- Here’s a study in the Journal of American Medical Association concluding that when combined with traditional medical care, chiropractic treatments have a greater impact on low back pain
Research has also shown that over 90% of all disease is rooted in stress, be it physical, mental, or nutritional stress (malnutrition).
Unfortunately, stress is at an all-time high in the U.S.; inflation, wars, political disharmony, workplace, and relationship/family stresses, etc. According to The American Institute of Stress, Americans’ stress levels are 20 points higher than the global average. Our current medical care model fails to address that. Those who choose to pursue a path to health that addresses stress, oftentimes do so at their own expense.
- Here’s an article on stress by the American Institute of Stress
- Here’s an article on stress by the Mayo Clinic discussing how stress affects the body and behavior, and ways to manage stress
Our wellness healthcare model focuses on three tiers:
- Increasing the function of the nervous system through gentle chiropractic and bodywork methods.
- Increasing emotional-mental resilience though somatic practices such as heart rate variability (HRV) training, meditation and breath work.
- Increasing the body’s nutritional content by filling the gaps through education and high-quality raw food supplementation.
We trust that by enhancing the lives of people through a wellness care model and self-care education, we will foster positive change in our community and in the world around us.
Our Services
- Reduced and donation-based chiropractic care, bodywork, centering practices, nutritional assessments, and heart rate variability training.
- Community health and wellness lectures on various topics aimed at empowering self-care and communicating its benefits.
- A referral network to other health and wellness resources, community partners, and services in alignment with our purpose and mission.
Donation-Based Care Structure
- We currently have availability to host 100 client visits per month at OMsource Wellness for reduced care to tonal chiropractic, zero balancing, and craniosacral services (entrainments).
- Entrainment sessions are 20 min and are generally recommended at weekly or biweekly intervals for clients beginning care.
- Our current rate for entrainments of $60 per visit is reduced based on the clients’ income levels.
- Donations help us achieve our goal of being able to offer low-cost and free care to those in need with no discretionary income for self-care.
- Learn more about our center and services.
Our Vision to Make a Bigger Impact
Through funding and donations, we envision building a team of alternative healing professionals that can make a bigger impact than any one doctor can do alone. By expanding access to our services through a healing “dream team”, expanded hours, and a larger facility, more people would be able to receive health and wellness-based services that are not covered by most insurance companies today.
