Have you ever considered using a chiropractor for anything other than a headache, sore back or a disc herniation? There have been a number of studies showing that using a chiropractor as your primary care physician can save you a significant amount of money. With today's high deductible plans most health care is now not paid for by insurance companies but rather by the patient.

Chiropractors are trained in the diagnosis of health problems by using blood work, MRI’s, CT and other diagnostic tools. Because of this training many people are using an alternative and more natural approach to health care by choosing chiropractors as their primary care family doctor.

One study of clinical and cost outcomes on 21,743 people over a 4-year period demonstrated giant decreases in health care costs. These cost reductions included:
43.2% outpatient surgeries and procedures
43.0% in hospital admissions
58.4% hospital days
51.8% pharmaceutical cost reductions
All compared with normative conventional medicine for the same HMO insurance product in the same geography over the same time frame.

This study was then confirmed a few years later on 70,274 people over a 7-year period and confirmed even more reductions in the cost of health care. The findings included these cost reductions:
62.0% outpatient surgeries and procedures
60.2% in-hospital admissions
59.0% hospital days
85% pharmaceutical costs
When compared with conventional medicine for the same health maintenance organization product in the same geography and time frame.
