Do you know someone who is stressed, anxious, run-down, suffering from frequent aches and pains, or catches everything that comes around?
According to the article “Complementary Medicine Popular With Healthcare Workers” published in the on line magazine, MedPage Today, (www.MedPageToday.com) , the use of non-traditional health care is very popular, even among health care workers such as RNs and MDs. CAM (complementary and alternative medicine) includes everything from diet based therapies and nutritional supplementation to chiropractic, acupuncture, massage, yoga and naturopathy.
Based on research done in 2007, a whopping 63% of the general population uses at least one form of complementary or alternative medicine (CAM). Among cancer survivors, fully 60% do the same. Interestingly, 76% of health care professionals ranging from support staff to nursing staff and physicians utilize at least one form of CAM.
Many of the CAM therapies are not only for acute conditions, but also for prevention of the development of conditions and overall wellness. This is one way for us to help ourselves in this time of health care reform. When we heal our bodies from the inside out through proper nutrition, nutritional supplementation, exercise, and treatments from CAM providers, such as chiropractors, we can avoid many of the chronic conditions which are so costly and deadly, such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes, etc. While all of these forms of treatment are part of recovery, how much better to avoid the diseases in the first place!! It only makes sense to do what promotes our health so that we avoid becoming ill! A 2004 study showed patients who went to chiropractors as their primary care providers had 43% less hospital admissions, 52% reductions in pharmaceutical costs and 43% fewer outpatient surgeries and procedures than those who did not use chiropractic care.
