You CAN afford chiropractic! Cost Effectiveness and Savings

Research shows:

“Studies suggest that chiropractic care may result in significant savings of health care dollars.”
It was concluded that the persons receiving chiropractic reported:

• Better overall health.
• Spent fewer days in hospitals and nursing homes.
• Used fewer prescription drugs.
• Were more active than the non-chiropractic patients.
• The chiropractic patients reported 21% less time in hospitals over the previous 3 years.

  “Chiropractic patients, when compared with US citizens of the same age, spent only 31% of the national average for health care services.”
  Another study surveyed chiropractic patients who had received chiropractic care for 5 years or longer. There was a 50% reduction in medical provider visits. The health habits of patients receiving maintenance care were better overall than the general population, including decreased use of cigarettes and decreased use of nonprescription drugs.

  Dr. Schotzko Says:
  The research shows that chiropractic patients spend less money on health care because they use less health care once they begin to benefit from chiropractic. Chiropractic's mission is to remove disturbances from your nervous system which is in control of every cell, tissue and organ in your body.
  
  Once nerve disturbance is removed, it allows you to start to reach optimal function and increase your health potential. 50% of bankruptcy in the US is due to medical bills and over 50% of those people
