National University of Health Sciences recently announced it has partnered with Cleveland HeartLab to help assess patients' risk of suffering a heart attack or cardiovascular disease. According to the university, "Five simple blood tests [offered by HeartLab] can inform NUHS physicians on the level of inflammation in the arteries, as well as plaque formation (arteriosclerosis). This gives NUHS clinicians a more complete picture of each patient's risk for heart attack."
The cardiac panel is provided as part of the HeartLab cardiac wellness program at National's Whole Health Centers.
"Since heart disease is still America's number-one cause of death, it's great that our Lombard and Naperville clinics can offer cutting-edge lab tests at an affordable cost," said Dr. David Parish, NUHS dean of clinics. "Because our clinics offer integrative medical care, including chiropractic, allopathic, naturopathic and Oriental medicine, we can follow up with patients after their test to offer effective natural solutions to improve their cardiac wellness."

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.

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?
