Crazy Right?
Chiropractors have long been at odds with Medical doctors and for many reasons. The problem is that while they are the ones battling, it is the patients that actually lose.
But it is somewhat understandable. The medical profession has dominated healthcare with an iron fist for a very long time. Unfortunately, when it comes to back pain, they have a losing hand. Physical therapy, drugs, or surgery.
Luckily Chiropractic has a different solution. Chiropractors understand that the body has the ability to heal itself from every disease known to man, it doesn't need drugs to cover it up. What it actually needs is no interference.
Chiropractors adjust the spine to remove nervous system interference allowing the body to heal itself . All without drugs or surgery.
A recent study conducted by the Center for Disability Research at the Liberty Mutual Research Institute for Safety and the University of Massachusetts Lowell, Hopkinton, Mass; and the Center for Health Economics & Science Policy at United BioSource Corporation, London, United Kingdom.
The results are quite interesting:
- For PTs: HR = 2.0
- For MDs: HR = 1.6
- For DCs: HR = 1.0
Statistically, this means you are twice as likely to end up disabled if you got your care from a PT, rather than from a DC.
You're also 60% more likely to be disabled if you choose an MD to manage your care, rather than a DC.
The authors concluded: "In work-related nonspecific LBP, the use of health maintenance care provided by physical therapist or physician services was associated with a higher disability recurrence than with chiropractic services or no treatment."
