As a Council Bluffs IA chiropractor, most people feel that all we do is treat neck pain and back pain. While patients that get adjusted with those issues more often than not see the relief of pain, that is not our primary goal. Our goal is to restore motion to the joints of the spine which takes the pressure off the nerves. This also creates changes in the brain and allows the body to function and communicate at peak performance.

Better Functioning Immune Systems in Council Bluffs IA

Studies have shown that getting adjusted helps to boost the formation of antibodies in the body, they fight disease and help keep us from being sick. When your immune system is functioning better, you don't have to waste time on being sick and money on medication. I can't even remember the last time I had a flu shot.

Since being in chiropractic school, I have only been sick maybe 3 times which was more due to poor food choices and the curiosity of how gas station sushi tastes. I feel chiropractic has prevented me from being sick and by wasting time and money on medications by allowing my brain and nervous system to function on a higher level. That is only my opinion and what has observed of myself and the patient in our practice. For those of you who like a little research, I got you covered.

Chiropractic care can help Save on Medical Costs

A seven-year study found that patients whose primary physician was a Chiropractor experienced these results:

• 60% fewer hospital admissions
• 85% less in pharmaceutical costs
• 32% less outpatient surgeries
• 59% fewer days in the hospital

Those are some compelling numbers. Not only is Chiropractic cheaper for treating pain, but regular adjustments can save on other medical costs. Making a change in your health pays dividends later in life.

If you have pain now, come in and talk with us to see how we can help. Putting off treatment of pain only means the cause gets worse. In 95% of cases, we can avoid surgery, DON'T be the 5% that waited until they couldn't stand the pain anymore or can't stand at all for that matter.

If you don't have pain, come get adjusted so your body can function at 100% and possibly save some money on other health costs. That's why at Schanuth Family Chiropractic, we treat your spine with your whole body in mind. As always, have a Well-Adjusted Day!
