Revolutionize Your Health: Chiropractic's Answer to Medical Crisis

We have to face some brutal facts today. We are in a healthcare crisis. Oh, we think we are so great, living longer, MRI scanners, a plethora of drug cocktails for whatever ails us, yet, in many respects, we as a society are pretty unhealthy. We hear of the medical marvels and the life-saving procedures, but we hear little of the day-to-day chronic illness afflicting so much of society.

Life expectancy is tapering off, and another crisis is on the not-very-distant horizon. We have an ever-increasing birth gap, the difference between the aging population and the number of newborns. In some countries, it's now reaching a crisis point. If it's not addressed, civilization will implode.

But for right now, these are the principal crisis points for America but less so for Australia:

• America spends more on healthcare per capita than any other country.

• America is the most drug-dependent country in the world, with 75% of all prescriptions.

• Americans have one of the lowest life expectancies in the Western world.

• Chronic disease is rampant today compared to 50 years ago.

• Today's Children are not expected to live as long as the boomer generation.

• Fertility rates are as low as they have ever been.

• Waiting times to get medical treatment are at an all-time high.

We have a failing healthcare model. Most of what passes as health care is really disease care. So, what is chiropractic's role in all this?
