Money magazine weighs in on which alternative therapies are worth your money:

January is typically one of those months when our patients mention taking a closer look at their finances; This could be as a result of holiday expenditure, the upcoming tax deadlines or for some of our patients it may be when their high deductible health plans reset. This leads a lot of patients to trying to cut expenses and sometimes health expenses unfortunately have to be considered. Today I happened to look at one of the office's "Money" magazines and was surprised to see a cover story about alternative medicine. I quickly flipped to the article interested to see what they had to say about chiropractic.

Its nice to see that more and more the health benefits of chiropractic are being noticed and it was also refreshing to see that the cost benefit is being appreciated also. The article notes that research shows chiropractic adjustments "...helpful for low back pain." They recommend that you see a licensed accredited chiropractor (obviously.) And they inform their readership that visits are generally covered by insurance and can also be payed for with tax free dollars from a health savings or flexible spending account.

The article also positively mentions acupuncture and naturopathy as well as biofeedback.

For the new year please keep making your health and wellness a priority. There is after all, only one you!

Regards in health,
