Chiropractic and Wellness
Chiropractic's philosophy and focus is on keeping patients well so they can enjoy life's best moments. It's always much easier to stay well, rather than to try and get healthy. Getting adjusted by a Doctor of Chiropractic periodically has definite health benefits from many points of view. One recent scientific study determined that getting adjusted periodically over a long time period provides a significant benefit to those with chronic low back pain(1). This scientific study reconfirms a previous study done in 2004 which found that, " Maintenance spinal manipulations after intensive manipulative care is beneficial to patients to maintain subjective post-intensive treatment disability levels”(2). Lastly, another study looked at people of age 65 and older. This study is confirmed by the two previously mentioned that, “The cost of health care for patients receiving maintenance care were far less than that for patients of similar age in the general population, despite the doubling of physician visits (medical plus chiropractic). The greatest difference in health care costs with patients receiving maintenance care was in the areas of nursing care and, especially, hospital care. This reduced need for hospital and nursing home services has recently been corroborated by the research of Coulter et al..” (3)
