Beginning on October 2 and running through October 9, the Fox Cable Health Network will feature "New Horizons in Health," the most recent edition of the "Cutting Edge Medical Report." This half-hour television program looks at health care in the 21st century, initially from the point of view of the U.S. space program and the multitude of health information garnered in space.
Astronaut Buzz Aldrin Co-Hosts Program
What will health care be like in the coming years? What treatments and services can patients expect from their health practitioners? Where do all the health disciplines and specialties fit into the picture? What is on the horizon for health?
These questions are addressed beginning with what has been learned about health and the human body from the astronauts' experiences with space travel. The many changes in bone loss and losses in muscle strength provide an accelerated look at how our bodies age and what can be done to combat this.
Health Care in the 21st Century
A number of points are made in the television program regarding what consumers and health care providers can expect in the near future:

The program is produced with input from NASA scientists. Major scenes were taped at the Johnson Space Center in Houston. Space, life science and health authorities from the Johnson Space Center (NASA) are interviewed. Doctors from various complementary and alternative health professions offer their predictions on health care.
The program places chiropractic squarely on the team of providers required for optimal health care. "New Horizons in Health" is not a chiropractic infomercial. This is a quality production with excellent content. The caliber of professionals interviewed gives the program a credibility factor of 10.
DCs will want to encourage their patients to view the program, especially those with families that are still uncertain about the role of chiropractic in today's health care. Doctors can also purchase copies of the program for their office for $19.95 plus $5.00 shipping and handling by calling 1-888-270-2850.
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?
