Working Together for your Benefit

Over the last 20 years, medical doctors and doctors of chiropractic have begun to understand the importance of working together for the benefit of the patient. Prior to the 1990’s, many medical doctors didn’t understand what chiropractic could do, nor did they realize the effectiveness of chiropractic. Education and scientific studies have changed that for the better.

A 7-year research project documented that medical doctors and chiropractors working together were able to achieve substantial cost savings in comparison to working independently. Outcomes of the studies have proven that chiropractic is effective, inexpensive and safe. That is why many hospitals now have chiropractors on staff and many medical doctors and chiropractors have gone into practice together.
