Wellness Care in the Chiropractic Profession

Wellness is a state of mind and of being.  When writing about a subject, I like to have it defined, and who better to do this than the Merriam Webster dictionary.  The following is an excerpt from said dictionary:

Pronunciation: ?wel-n?s

Function: noun

Date: 1653

: the quality or state of being in good health especially as an actively sought goal <lifestyles that promote wellness>

Thomas Edison “got it†back in the day with his quote:

The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest her or his patients in the care of the human frame, in a proper diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease.

Thomas A. Edison
US inventor (1847 – 1931)

Let’s break down disease for a moment, dis = opposite or absence of, and ease = freedom from pain or discomfort.  We live in a nation of disease care, only fixing problems when dis-ease arises.  We are far from having a wellness system where we keep our bodies at ease and take preventative actions to ward of dis-ease.

Addressing a problem before it occurs is the wellness approach, taking care of a problem after it has manifested itself is sick care or injury care. Addressing a problem before it occurs is the wellness approach, taking care of a problem after it occurs sometimes results in longer recovery time and in some cases un-repairable injuries or incurable illness.

We are more focused on things like the upkeep of our homes to prevent damage or preventive care on our vehicles.

We are generally trained to go to the Dentist for preventive care far more often than we go for yearly check ups for preventive care by a Chiropractor.

The  results of several patient?based studies suggest that chiropractic care may result in significant savings of healthcare dollars. One such study conducted an analysis of an insurance database comparing persons over 75 years of age receiving chiropractic care with non?chiropractic patients. The analysis showed that the persons receiving chiropractic care reported better overall health, spent fewer days in hospitals and nursing homes, used fewer prescription drugs, and were more active than the non?chiropractic patients. Furthermore, the chiropractic patients reported 21% less time in hospitals over the previous 3 years.

Another study surveyed 311 chiropractic patients, aged 65 years and older, who had received chiropractic care for 5 years or longer. Chiropractic patients, when compared with US citizens of the same age, spent only 31% of the national average for health care services. The chiropractic patients also experienced 50% fewer medical provider visits then their comparable peers. 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.

Clearly, there is a growing body of evidence that wellness care provided by Doctors of Chiropractic may reduce health care costs, improve health, reduce health care costs, and improve the patient’s overall quality?of?life.
