Chiropractic Care—Not Just for Slips and Falls
Union Street San Francisco Chiropractor - Therapy for Accidents, Sports Injuries, Slips, Falls & Strains
Around 22 million Americans seek out chiropractors each year. Though many come to treat lower back pain, chiropractic physicians treat an array of ailments caused by accidents, slips and falls, sports injuries and stained muscles. But perhaps a more important facet of a chiropractor’s job is to pinpoint and address the underlying cause of a patient’s ailments, to not only heal the body but maintain a patient’s optimal well-being.
According to New Orleans Chiropractor Dr. Nick Thompson, maintaining chiropractic care can effectively lower health care costs by reducing the need for prescription medication, hospital stays and other medical expenses. According to one study mentioned on his website, chiropractic patients spent 21% less hospital time over a three year period than the non-chiropractic patients studied.
Chiropractic care focuses on the musculoskeletal and nervous system and their effects on general health. Chiropractors use a range of diagnostic skills to pinpoint and treat the cause of many health issues through non-invasive techniques. Though chiropractic is most commonly thought of as offering relief care for immediate treatment of pain, it is also recommended that patients seek in follow-up treatment and periodic chiropractic check-ups to maintain optimal health and keep those healthcare costs down.
