The fact that a chiropractor can use treatment as a way to rule in or rule out diagnosis and decide if another cost savings of chiropractic care is that we can start with the inexpensive treatment option first and rule out the expensive Mris and orthopedic and neurologic specialty consultations only if the chiropractic care is not providing the benefit we hoped it might.
Imagine a world where pain relief doesn't come with the risk of addiction. In this thought-provoking episode of the Cover 2 Resources podcast, host Greg McNeil sits down with Dr. Pat Ensminger to explore how chiropractic care could revolutionize pain management and tackle the opioid epidemic head-on. With millions of opioid prescriptions written annually, it's alarming that one in four patients struggle with addiction. Dr. Ensminger makes a compelling case for chiropractic care as a drug-free, highly effective alternative.
He discusses how chiropractors are setting new standards in pain management, even making their way into emergency rooms. North America's staggering consumption of 90% of the world's opioid medicines often stems from a desire for quick fixes. However, chiropractic plans can not only alleviate pain but sometimes address the root cause more effectively than prescription drugs. Dr. Ensminger shares insights on how this approach could break the cycle of dependency on pain pills and offer a safer path to recovery.
He also highlights the disconnect between the medical and chiropractic communities, emphasizing the need for better integration. By starting with cost-effective chiropractic treatments, patients can avoid expensive diagnostics and specialist consultations unless absolutely necessary. Tune in to hear how chiropractic care could be a pivotal solution in the fight against opioid addiction.
