It’s no surprise that the majority of people are unhappy
with the current healthcare system, not only in the U.S. but also around the
world. People want better care and better outcomes for a lower cost, and for
many people that seems like an impossible goal. However, a study published in
2007 that compared different medical care options proved that this isn’t the
case.
The study analyzed numbers and statistics between patients
who used chiropractors as their general care provider (PCP) and those who used
medical doctors as their PCP instead.[1]
It found that people using chiropractors experienced:
- 60% Less Hospital Admissions
- 59% Less Days Spent in the Hospital
- 62% Less Outpatient Surgeries
- 85% Less Costs on Pharmaceutical Drugs[2]
It’s easy to see how people who
experience these things would have an improved quality of life and a better
overall view of the healthcare experience.
When all is said and done, one of the
biggest differences between chiropractic care and traditional medical care is
that chiropractic focuses on being proactive
versus reactive. We work to
restore and maintain your body’s natural healing processes and its ability to
keep you vital and healthy. We don’t depend on prescriptions, surgery, or other
temporary fixes that might leave you feeling better in the short-term but
actually do very little to keep you healthy in the long run.
If you know anyone who’s upset with their
current medical care, whether because of the high costs, the disappointing
outcomes, or any other reason, I’d encourage you to tell them about
chiropractic care and what it can do for them. Chiropractors and their patients
should take pride in educating others about the benefits of chiropractic and
how different it is from any other healthcare you may have had before.
Working to restore GOD’s perfect design in you!
