Do we need to start thinking outside the box?

 

Recent studies have shown the United States to be ranked 12th out of the top 13 industialized countries in the world in overall health care.  However, we spend more money on health care in this country than the other 12 countries combined.  Is there something wrong with our approach?  Is what we are doing as a country for “health care” really working?  Is it really health care, or is it really “disease care”.  We continue to throw more and more money at our health care system, yet we are becoming sicker and sicker every year.  At some point this madness has to stop. 

At a recent talk I heard someone talk about how we have all grown up in this “box” of what we currently call health care.  Given that our current medical system is now the 3rd leading cause of death in this country and rising, isn’t it time to start thinking outside the box?  We need to begin to look for the solution not from another magical pill or potion, but from within.  We are all born with the worlds largest medicine cabinet within each one of us.  Our bodies own innate intelligence knows exactly what it needs to do get and stay healthy without any outside intervention.  Although our medical system is amazing for emergency situations, it is severely failing when it comes to our day to day health.  In chiropractic we claim to cure no disease in particular, rather we remove any interference to our bodies ability to function properly.  We do this through regular spinal adjustments to remove nervous system interference.  This an essential component to the health care of every man, women, and child on this planet.
