CHARLOTTE, N. C., July 29, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dr. Darcey Walraven Ladner, Charlotte chiropractor and owner of Omni Wellness Center, says that her clinic is using Facebook more and more as a way to connect with their patients. Dr. Walraven Ladner says that she and her staff frequently post updates on Facebook to discuss proactive steps people can take against back pain and neck pain, as well as tips on nutrition and fitness. They also use the Facebook page to inform the public about special events and promotions going on at the center, such as lunch, health education and chair massage programs for local business groups.
Dr. Walraven Ladner says that using Facebook to engage and communicate with patients makes sense. "We are passionate about sharing our knowledge with people about how to avoid or treat neck pain, back pain and other health problems. This week, we posted an article about the benefits of yoga, and we also frequently post nutrition tips as well. Our patients are discussing and sharing this information with their friends too, and that's exciting."
The wellness center's Facebook page is also chronicling the remodeling and construction of its new office space located at 10220 Couloak Drive. Dr. Walraven Ladner says they have posted a public invitation on their timeline, along with pictures of the remodeling. According to the Facebook invitation, the center will celebrate their Grand Opening event on August 22nd from 8:30am-6:30pm providing snacks and a raffle for patients and visitors.
Patients who set up an appointment during the Grand Opening can receive a complimentary spinal adjustment. According to Dr. Walraven Ladner, Facebook gives her an opportunity to introduce herself and her natural approach to back and neck pain relief to more people this way.
Dr. Walraven Ladner says that one of the best parts about their Facebook page is that it gives her patients a place to discuss their own health issues and success stories. "What's happening here is that my patients are starting to create a supportive, health-focused community on our Facebook page. They're posting success stories about overcoming pain. We are all there supporting each other in the goal of staying healthy and getting healthier. This kind of community support is the essence of our wellness center, and one of the great things about our Facebook page. I hope everyone will come check it out!"
