You may be wondering if chiropractic is truly safe. You’ve heard debates in the news, had friends and family weigh in with their own opinions on the topic, and may have even read that medical professionals cannot seem to agree on the subject. How can you make the best decision with all this conflicting information?
Although this personal decision can only be answered by you and your doctor, there are a few essential points to keep in mind when making a final choice. These points could help you make one of the best decisions for your wellness care.
Chiropractic care is a natural approach to health and wellness. When vertebrae become misaligned, they tend to cause discomfort and pain in the back, neck, and various other parts of the body. Chiropractors use their hands, or tools, to manipulate the vertebrae of the spine. As vertebrae are put back into proper alignment in the body, this helps alleviate pain and improves your level of comfort.
Chiropractic adjustments are incredibly safe. According to the American Chiropractic Association, the calculated risk of an improper adjustment is about 1 in over 5,000,000. Millions of individuals enjoy the benefits of chiropractic care every day with no adverse effects on the body. Chiropractors use the utmost care when adjusting their patients. With such low risk, it’s definitely worth considering a visit to your local chiropractic clinic.
Patients not only see less pain with adjustments, but enjoy overall lifestyle improvements including boosts of energy, fewer headaches, a stronger immune system, increased relaxation and wellbeing, and other great benefits. By including regular chiropractic adjustments into your wellness routine, you’ll could be opening the door to a healthier and more active lifestyle.
Why is the Discount Challenge prize amount $11,181? Because that is the average “per-occurrence” fine for Medicare inducements. That’s not $11,181 per patient, that’s not per provider, that’s PER VISIT. Stinks, doesn’t it? To us, the prize amount is worth the investment if we can help our profession better understand proper discounting.
