BStrong4Life
On Friday January 14th we received the machines that make up the Be Strong For Life system.
We placed the BioDensity unit, part of the BStrong4Life system in what was the massage therapy room. We moved the massage therapy room up one to the consultation room, and moved the consultation room to another room in the front office.
The BStrong4Life system incorporates usage of the power plate to maximize strength training, as a result we felt like we needed a third power plate to ensure our patients would not see an increase in any idle time in our office. We made a slight re-arrangement of our treatment area to easily accommodate the new power plate.
BStrong4Life is a system to help improve whole body strength through isometric muscle action. Isometric resistance exercises are some of the oldest forms of resistance training and, as some research has found, tend to be more effective than other forms of resistance training. To learn more about this innovative system, give us a call to make an appointment 630-232-6616

Chiropractic care more cost effective for treating low back pain
A recent study finds that starting with chiropractic saves 40% on low back pain care. This study, available online, will be published in the December 2010 volume of the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics (JMPT). The authors performed a claims analysis on Blue Cross Blue Shield of Tennessee’s intermediate and large group fully insured population between October 1, 2004 and September 30, 2006. They looked at all participants who had open access to both chiropractors and medical doctors without the need for a referral from their family physician.
They found that the cost of care of patients who first saw a chiropractor for the relief of low back pain was 40% less than care of patients who saw a medical doctor first. The authors estimate that allowing DC-initiated care would lead to an annual savings of $2.3 million for BCBS of Tennessee.
There have been similar studies like this one in the past, for example in 1999 BCBS of Arkansas found that chiropractic care was more cost effective than care in the medical model. This is not new information for us chiropractors, we have been seeing this and saying this for decades. This is not even new news for the insurance industry and something we think they might actually move on in this current economic climate. The struggle will be with the AMA, they lead the way in dictating health care policy at every level; private to public. Regardless of studies like this I believe that the AMA will continue to attempt to box us out of spinal care with their baseless claims on a perceived risk of chiropractic care that the evidence does not support.
Remember this article the next time you are talking to a family member, friend, or co-worker and they ask you about your chiropractic experience. Not only do we provide real relief, but also we do it at a less expense than medical care.
