September 18th is Chiropractic’s birthday. As it has always presented a change from the status quo and is in direct competition with drug companies and the medical profession, it came into the world as an unwanted child.
Yet, due to its incredible safety record (Chiropractic malpractice insurance is about the cost of car insurance compared to five to six figure malpractice for medical doctors) and results, Chiropractic has stayed in the wellness family. The number of people being adjusted has grown by millions of patients each and every single year since Chiropractic’s discovery in 1895.
Recently, The medical journal: Journal of Manipulative and Physiologic Therapeutics (JMPT) published a study that analyzed data from health comparisons between those utilizing a wellness oriented chiropractor as their Primary Care Physician and those who’s PCP practice conventional medicine. Here are the findings:
Chiropractic/wellness patients had 60.2% fewer hospital admissions, 59% less days hospitalized, 62% less outpatient surgeries, and 85% less pharmaceutical costs (AMAZING!).
The same journal published the findings of 311 chiropractic patients, ages 65 and older, who had received “maintenance care” for five years or longer. What they found when compared with citizens their own age:
- Chiropractic patients spent only 31% of the national average for health care
- They had 50% less medical provider visits
- Their health habits were radically better than overall populations
- They had far less cigarette consumption
- 98.5% believed that care to be considerably or extremely valuable (WOW!)
Another recent study in the medical journal: Spine, 2007:32:2102-2018 STATES: Spinal problems reduce quality of life, decrease mobility, lower longevity, and increase the risk of coronary artery disease.
112 years after its birth, the unwanted child of health care is proving to radically improve lives, transforming the way people live to the right way, saving lives, and adding years to life. All should be celebrating Chiropractic’s birth!
