18th, 1895: The Greatest Day in American Heath Care, EVER!
September
18th is Chiropractic’s birthday.
The only healthcare model exclusively developed in the United States of America
In
fact, the AMA, in a Supreme Court decision in 1989, admitted to using negative
propaganda, and slander about the effectiveness, safety and training of
chiropractors. The AMA also admitted to
have a Committee within the organization whose sole purpose was to influence
the decision of medical doctors to not to refer to chiropractors and to carry
out this slander. After reviewing all
the facts, clinical trials, safety records, and training the U.S. Supreme Court
ruled in favor of Chiropractic and mandated the Medical doctors and the AMA
start referring to Chiropractors, and to have an open door policy. After 10 years of practice, I’m still waiting
for that door.
So,
with all this negative publicity, and with the most powerful industry against
chiropractic, how did it survive now to be the most frequented health care
profession in our country?
Chiropractic’s
incredibly safe record (chiropractic malpractice is about the cost of car
insurance compared to six figure malpractice for the same coverage for medical
doctors) and undeniable results has contributed to the amazing growth people
being adjusted since 1895.
Recently,
the medical journal: JMPT published a study that analyzed data from health
comparisons between those who utilize a wellness oriented chiropractor as their
Primary Care Physician and those who’s PCP practice a conventional Medical
Model. 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 chiropractic care” for five or
longer. What they found when they
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 population
-
They
had far less cigarette consumption
-
98.5%
believed that care to be considerably and extremely valuable
Another
recent study in the medical journal: Spine, 2007:32 states: Spinal problems
reduce quality of life, decrease mobility, lower longevity (lifespan) and
increase the risk of coronary artery disease.
1224 years after its birth, the unwanted model of health care is radically improving
lives, transforming the way people live, saving lives, and adding years to life.
