Insurance care

People take better care of their car than they do themselves. Ask any car owner, “How often should you get your oil changed?” 3-5000 miles. It’s been ingrained in us. Why do we do it? Because we know if we don’t take care of our car, more expensive problems are soon to come. If we don’t fix our brakes it could lead to an accident. If we don’t change our oil, it could lead to our engine overheating and freezing up. That will cost a lot more than a $25 oil change. None of these maintenance items are covered by insurance, yet we all get them done. So how come we don’t do the preventative maintenance on ourselves?

People are no different than cars. We need maintenance too, and without it, costlier problems will arise. Waiting until you have an ache or pain to take care of yourself is the same as waiting until your oil light goes on before you get your oil changed. Sure it may be minor, but it’s telling you there is already a problem.  We know that we don’t wait for our teeth to hurt before we see a dentist.

Why don’t people get regular adjustments, teeth cleanings, or physicals? Many times it’s because our insurance coverage isn’t enough to cover it. And with health insurance premiums on the rise and benefits dropping, it’s time we started treating our bodies like we do our cars.

Taking care of yourself regularly will help prevent more dangerous and chronic health conditions. The U.S. spends $16 billion a year on back surgery alone, not counting the rehabilitation and loss of work that goes along with surgery. And very few health plans cover 100% of costs.

We no longer have the benefit of insurances that cover what we need.  Insurances are a business; don’t ever assume they have your heath as a priority. The Joint is working to help you stay healthy…affordably. Our cash prices are probably cheaper than your co-pays through insurance; and with regular adjustments you can avoid more chronic health problems.  Take responsibility for your own health with regular chiropractic care, dental cleanings, and health screenings from your primary doctor.
