“Chiropractic Safer and More Effective” – Says Medical Researchers

pril 2011 – Journal of Occupational & Environmental Medicine

Dr. Trace Palmer – Chiropractor in Richmond Hill, Ga, found this research article outlining the effectiveness and safety of chiropractic care.

New study by Medical Researchers shows Chiropractors are a safer form of maintenance care for your spine.

Maintenance care for spines has been the “backbone” mantra of the Chiropractic profession for decades.

To quote the Medical Researchers “After controlling for severity and demographics, no health maintenance care is generally as good as chiropractor care.” (Spinal Care)

A total of 894 cases followed 1-year using workers’ compensation claims data. Provider types were defined for the initial episode of disability and subsequent episode of health maintenance care.

Results showed that the Disability Reoccurrence (lower is better) for:

Chiropractic   1.00   (safest and most effective  —- Costs Less)

No Care 1.20 (20% more relapses vs a chiropractor)

MD’s 1.60 (60% more relapses vs a chiropractor)

PT’s 2.00 (100% more relapses vs a chiropractor)

Please make note that the “No Care / maybe it will go away” group had 20% more reoccurrences than the chiropractic maintenance group.

Conclusion:  Its about time that you looked at a safe and effective alternative to drugs and surgery, Chiropractors have been providing their patients with proven care for more than 116 years, since 1895.

Thank you and consider that over 85% of the population in the United States don’t visit a chiropractor regularly. But those 15% that do are extending the number of quality of years that they have by prevention through natural chiropractic care. Don’t put off your decision to seek out a chiropractor till it hurts, most of the time degeneration has already set in.

What is Health?

What is Health?

Is health the absents of symptoms? Then why do we call some diseases “the silent deadly killers”?

Health has more to do with taking care of what you have than trying to repair and replace what is broken. If you wait till your car breaks down on the freeway before you get it serviced, are you helping or hurting yourself? Or is it that you like huge car bills to replace motors and transmissions? Do you use the same logic with your teeth? How about your spine?

The spine is taken for granted. Very few people think about the spine and “how do I take better care of it”till it hurts. Sometimes pain is the last 10% of a degenerative process.

We are not a product of our injuries; we are a product of how we take care of our injuries. By age 10, the average child has had 200 significant falls.

Using pain as our meter for spinal maintenance is like looking for smoke out the tailpipe to get an oil change.

These accidents are the precursors to limitations later in life. In a perfect world, those injuries would have been addressed and corrected as near to 100% as possible. And the precursors may never have developed into spinal and joint decay. Now that we have reached middle age and have let the precursors mature into spinal and joint decay, working on restoring optimum potential for our spine and joints should be priority one with natural chiropractic care.

By aligning your spine with chiropractic care and correcting your lifestyle , you begin to move as close to 100 percent function and have your best chance of not only feeling better, and reaching and maintaining your optimum health potential.

Why do I take X-rays

Why should I get an X-ray at a Chiropractors Office

Many of my patients and perspective patients ask why I take x-rays?

In a two part answer:

#1 – we need to view exactly how the vertebra is misaligned, so we can adjust the vertebra’s position in a very specific manner.

#2 – patients walk into chiropractors offices daily that need help after a minor incident, wether it was yesterday, 10 days ago, or 3 years ago. This patient had fallen on his trampoline and had neck pain for 9 days (not all that intense). Please look at the x-rays and let me know if he’s glad the chiropractor wanted to be very conservative, specific with the correction, and take the patients safety seriously.

Upon further inspection, this patient is withing 2-3mm of a broken neck and being completely paralyzed from the neck down.

Medical intervention was needed. If the chiropractor had given into the patient that said “Just Crack It, Doc”, then the outcome would have been catastrophic.

Specific Chiropractic Healthcare in Richmond Hill Ga is the way to go. Don’t settle for “Just Crack It”.

Thank you,
