Bottom Line: The Four Seasons, the Ritz-Carlton, The W, and….your local hospital. Wait, what?!? What do they have in common? All of them charge you an arm and a leg for a visit, but some you would rather visit than others. Let’s face it, heading to the hospital is expensive. Did you know a recent study showed that people who use chiropractic care reduced their hospital stays by 59%?
Why it Matters: Hospital visits are unbelievably expensive. We have all heard the stories of the $400 aspirin. Well, it’s no fluke that people who are under the care of a chiropractor are more active and more engaged in staying healthy. And staying healthy can save you money.
Next Steps: Congrats! You are in the right place, but your friends may not be. Take this handout and give it to a friend who has children. Getting their family under chiropractic care may end up saving them a ton of money. Looking out for each other’s health. That’s what friends are for!
