Lisa Ann Homic, M.Ed. D.C. a mind body synchronicity practitioner, does an adjustment on her 4-year-old son Eirne Keegan. Homic works to balance aspects of her life including work and family and will begin a series on wellness next month to help others achieve a similar balance.
Formerly a mental health counselor, Homic, now an Auburn-based chiropractor, believes that a person's physical, mental and emotional well-being are all interrelated, and that a deficiency in one of the three areas can upset the balance of the other two.
It is this “mind and body” approach that has led Homic to establish Homic Advanced Chiropractic, with offices located in the Phoenix Building at 2 South St. in downtown Auburn.
“I might be a little different from most other chiropractors - I think there's a lot to be said about how your mental and emotional functioning can carry over into your physical health,” Homic said from her office last week.
She first noticed the correlations between a healthy mind and body while serving as a mental health counselor in South Carolina in the 1990s.
“I'd have patients that would say they didn't feel well physically, but their medical doctors would say they had a clean bill of health,” she recalled. “And the same (thing) would happen with their psychiatrists - I began to realize that one affects the other.”
After learning that doctors of chiropractic sometimes address both mental and physical well-being, Homic relocated to New York Chiropractic College in 1996, where she earned her doctorate in 2000.
Homic has since had an office of chiropractic in several locations in Auburn, and she now calls the Phoenix Building home.
“I think chiropractic in general kind of stands out as a different health care approach,” she explained when asked about her overall philosophy.
“A lot of what we do centers around the spine,” she said. “Your spine, and the nerves in the spinal cord, are the control center for your whole body, and it helps keep your brain energized.
“And if the brain doesn't have enough energy, you're not going to have a healthy metabolism or healthy feelings; it's all connected,” she added.
To share her beliefs with others, Homic plans to hold meetings on various health topics.
She is currently organizing a book club, which will hold discussion at various locations, the times and dates of which have yet to be decided.
“The first book (we'll discuss) is ‘The 100 Year Lifestyle' (Adams Media, 2007), written by a chiropractor named Dr. Eric Plasker,” she said.
Plasker's book contains information on humans' ever-increasing lifespan and how people can live more fully during their later years by following Plasker's plan.
“Each chapter in the book touches on a different aspect of enjoying your aging, so we'll discuss one chapter at each meeting,” Homic said.
On Feb. 4, Homic will lead a program at her office called “Leaders Are Healthy, Followers Are Sick,” which she said will be an open discussion about living healthy lifestyles in the nation's ever-changing society.
