For Small Employers

Trenton Chiropractic and Rehab is pleased to unveil the Chiropractic Employer Plus Program. 

The rising cost of health insurance is becoming a huge financial burden for all employers, both large and small.  However, the financial strain is particularly hard on the small business owners.  Worse yet, despite record profits for many of the larger insurance companies, the insurance industry has been shifting the cost of health care to employers via higher premiums, to employees via higher co-pays and deductibles, and the physicians via massive fee discounts.  The government, recognizing this disturbing trend, has been developing Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and the Medical Savings Account (MSA), so individuals can control how their dollars will be spent.

To ease the burden of rising health care costs, Trenton Chiropractic and Rehab developed an innovative new program:  Chiropractic Employer Plus.  This program offers small employers the opportunity to provide a significant new benefit for their employees, at no additional cost to the employer.  Call us, at 419-427-6300, for more details and to receive a complimentary packet of information.

For Large Employers

Large employers in Ohio are plagued primarily by two significant financial stresses:  skyrocketing health care costs, and rising worker's compensation premiums (in addition to medical and indemnity costs associated with job injury).  Properly delivered chiropractic care, combined with the Chiropractic Employer Plus Program, provided at no cost to the employer, can help lower these costs.  Research dating back decades, consistently, demonstrates chiropractic care can return a patient, your employee, to work in half the time, with half the cost, and half the disability, compared to traditional medical management.  Additionally, recent studies suggest that chiropractic directed management results in lower drug costs, less outpatient diagnostic tests, and less surgery.  Also, patients using Doctors of Chiropractic report higher satisfaction and greater improvement in their overall health.

Remember, drugs and hospital care remain the two main cost drivers in this nation's escalating health care crisis.  Obviously, shifting toward conservative Chiropractic Care can lower these costs.  While keeping these points in mind, forging a relationship with a local Chiropractic physician makes good sense.

To investigate the effects of acupuncture on perceived pain, mood disturbances and medical expenses related to low back pain (LBP), an intervention study was performed among 72 employees of a steel company, 70 males and 2 females, aged 53.1+/-7.1 (mean+/-SD) yr, with LBP. They received acupuncture treatment once a week for 8 wk (from October to December 1998) by licensed acupuncturists, adopting a new hypothesis of the Meridian test. Perceived pain scale, and Profile of Mood States (POMS) were administered. Past and present histories of employees' visits to hospitals and their medical expenses for LBP were surveyed from receipts obtained from the subjects' branch factory and from receipts from another nearby branch factory (control) during the period from April 1998 to March 1999. After 8 wk of treatment, patients with LBP reported diminished pain (p<0.01). POMS showed a significant decrease in the total mood disturbance score (p<0.001). The number of visits to conventional hospitals (12.1+/-8.0 vs. 0.8+/-0.8 per month, p<0.05) and standardized medical expenses for LBP (100.1+/-89.6 vs. 7.3+/-6.9 per month, p<0.05) after acupuncture intervention (November 1998 to March 1999) were significantly decreased as compared with those before intervention (April 1998 to October 1998). In contrast, such decreases were not observed in employees from the control branch factory. It is suggested that acupuncture can reduce medical expenses for LBP through improvement in mood and pain.
