Medical care can be dangerous and expensive St. Charles IL

In medical practice, there is still an exceptionally high prescription rate of unnecessary MRI, x-ray, prescription medication, injection, and surgery. The overuse of addictive prescriptions is what led to the overdosing of Americans in the opioid epidemic. Seeking initial care for your neck and back pain from the medical doctor can be ineffective, costly and have potentially serious side effects.

Sadly, most medical professionals continue following the same old path of care for patients in pain. Reviewing providers likelihood of referring for chiropractic care from the study: Primary Care Physicians - 8.3%. Orthopedist and Neurosurgeons - 6.4%. Nurses, Physical Therapists and Acupuncturists - 10%. Urgent care doctors - 3%. Despite the research, medical professionals do not follow conservative guidelines and refer for effective chiropractic care. The takeaway from this is you can decide on the most pertinent care, and schedule yourself with the chiropractor first.
