Straight Talk About Health Care

In 2009 there's been lots of conversation about health care, both at the federal and state levels.1-3 Not all the talk has been friendly. Those favoring broad reforms describe serious problems in the health care "system". Those opposing change have spread rumors about impending "socialized medicine". Whatever the outcome, chiropractic health care continues to address many of the real shortcomings of the current health care situation in the United States.

First and foremost, chiropractic care focuses on the patient. So much of health care is focused on the profit-taking bottom line. Necessary services are denied coverage and unnecessary services are prescribed, all to further some faceless organization's return on investment. Chiropractic care has one goal in mind - to help the patient be healthy and get well in the fastest amount of time possible. Other forms of health care talk but chiropractic walks the walk. Chiropractic health care is truly patient-centered.

Chiropractic care is personalized. A patient in a chiropractor's office feels like part of the family. Chiropractors make the time to talk with their patients, asking the right questions and addressing their concerns. Chiropractic patients don't feel rushed. They don't feel as if their doctor's main priority is getting through this patient visit and moving on to the next. Chiropractic patients have the experience their doctor is very interested in their well-being and has designed treatment that will specifically address their specific problems. Chiropractic care is not a cookie-cutter, one-size-fits-all approach to health care.

The majority of the health care system is notoriously fragmented. Patients are bounced from one specialist to another, as various doctors attempt to diagnose a small part of a complex problem. In contrast, chiropractic care is holistic, addressing many of the health requirements of the whole person. Chiropractic treatment restores balances to the nervous system and musculoskeletal system, addressing multiple problems at once. Also, many chiropractors design rehabilitative exercise protocols and nutritional programs for their patients, as well as provide postural recommendations and stress management techniques.

And, chiropractic care is available to the entire family - toddlers, young people, parents, and grandparents. Chiropractic treatment is safe and gentle, and highly effective for a broad range of conditions. Whether an 80-year-old grandmother has osteoporosis-related lower back pain or an 8-year-old softball player has an injured knee, chiropractic care has good solutions for both.

Chiropractic directly addresses many problems in today's health care system. Chiropractic is a results-driven, cost-effective method focused on holistic health care. Chiropractic care is an integrated system that effectively promotes a family's wellness and well-being.

Reviews By Our Satisfied Patients

  • "I went to Fay-West with daily crippling headaches, neck pain, and jaw pain/a TMJ issue that was very severe in nature and I thought would never go away. The work that Dr. Tyger and the lovely nurses have done with aligning my back and strengthening my neck has changed my life- I went from having pain every single day to having none at all in just a short couple of weeks, something I didn't know was possible.The staff and doctors at Fay-West are friendly and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend going to see Dr. Tyger (or Dr. Homonai) if you have any pain at all. I promise you won't regret it!"

  • "I just completed the Chiro Thin weight loss program and lost 26 pounds in 6 weeks. I would highly recommend this program to anyone looking to lose weight. The program is easy to follow and really works. The staff at Fay West Chiropractic was always nice and friendly. Dr. Tyger is the best! He was always very supportive and encouraging. I never felt like I was on my own. He was always there to answer my questions and guide me. Thank you Dr. Tyger and Fay West Chiropractic for a great experience."
