New York City Council member, Stephen Fiala (Staten Island), issued a proclamation on behalf of the council to honor the Division of Chiropractic at Doctors' Hospital of Staten Island. The proclamation is a commendation for chiropractic's "exemplary record" in the hospital setting.
The proclamation reads in part:
Since the commencement of the Division of Chiropractic, Department of Medicine at Doctors' Hospital of Staten Island in 1997, patients have benefited from the pairing of traditional orthodox allopathic medicine, with complementary alternative chiropractic. Patients receive safe, efficient and cost-effective care.This teaming together of chiropractors and medical doctors marks historic progress in health care, allowing greater communication between the doctors of different disciplines out of concern for the patient. This communication fosters certain understandings between the professions that help to diffuse any prejudices against patients who may desire both chiropractic and medical care.
When sports chiropractors first appeared at the Olympic Games in the 1980s, it was alongside individual athletes who had experienced the benefits of chiropractic care in their training and recovery processes at home. Fast forward to Paris 2024, where chiropractic care was available in the polyclinic for all athletes, and the attitude has now evolved to recognize that “every athlete deserves access to sports chiropractic."
It is estimated that 61% of patients with CTS avoid taking surgical options due to postoperative complications and costly surgical procedures. Chiropractic care offers a comprehensive and effective treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome, addressing the condition from multiple angles. Recent studies also have unveiled a game-changing adjunct to chiropractic treatments for CTS: nerve flossing.
Some doctors thrive in a personality-based clinic and have a loyal following no matter what services or equipment they offer, but for most chiropractic offices who are trying to grow and expand, new equipment purchases help us stay relevant and continue to service our client base in the best, most up-to-date manner possible. So, regarding equipment purchasing: should you lease, get a bank loan, or pay cash?
