E-mail message this week .. Stand Up For Chiropractic
Years ago, the American Chiropractic Association reported to its members that an insurance provider had released new policies declaring that there is insufficient evidence to support chiropractic care for children and adolescents or for the treatment of headaches.
When I read the e-mail concerning this decision not to pay for any pediatric or headache related services, I said Wow!! Am I dreaming or has some lame chiropractor providing opinions for the insurance provider given the most ridiculous advice possible. Now come on, how many of you reading this e-mail throughout 35 great countries spanning the entire globe have adjusted and greatly helped people with all sorts of headaches. Many of these folks have been through the wringer with medical pills, potions and salves attempting to rid or manage their migraines, general all purpose stress and/or sinus headaches. If I could see a show of hands, I bet it would be most of you. In fact, very few of us have failed, even with the crudest of technical prowess, to help many with headaches. So how can an insurance provider decide, after so many years of chiropractic insurance coverage state that either chiropractic care was useless for their insured with cervicogenic headaches, who knows but luckily today it doesn’t apply.
As far as children, I don’t have to go far beyond my three. They were delivered via my hands in my home and never visited a pediatrician, taken medication of any type while in my charge, and that was into their twenties when they left for college. They rarely were sick, their friends never adjusted, were sick often. My kids felt jilted in school when medicine time came and bottle after bottle was pulled from student cubbies to be administered to the classmates in the throw of an illness. “Daddy, why can’t I have something,” I heard more than once from either of my three. It didn’t take long for me to “straighten” them out with a loving understanding of the healing of the body and how they have been lucky to been cared for chiropractically from birth. How lucky they were and how unfortunate it will be for any of our professional charges, of all ages, if you are either were intimidated to back off from checking children or neglect the cervical spine to rid the plague of chronic headaches from those that pass your threshold.
We are a weak profession both in numbers and in agreement compared to the medics. This will not change in my professional lifetime but individually and collectively via state and district associations, not to mention our schools and national groups, more research or awareness articles must be sent to both the local and national media about the miracle of chiropractic. We share amongst ourselves but this is not enough. Assign state and national association member doctors with writer’s ability to send regular reports to the media highlighting the benefits and wonders of chiropractic. Assign research students in every campus to use their time highlighting common subjective complaints and tagging it with objective findings and chiropractic adjustments as a safe alternative to lifetime medication and impaired personal performance.
We need to get off our duffs and kick some butt
Have a Great Day
