Over 500 Insurance Companies Cover Chr.jatic Treatment • By Jalynr Strong Pont Staff Writer “In the past, some people thought that anyooe seen wearing a support collar around their neck and going to a chiropractor because of an acci dent was not hurt but was only trying to collect insurance money for an injury that did not exist. “Thanks to modern science, how ever, it is now know that whip lash-type injuries to the soft tissue that supports the neck and the rest of the spine do occur and may be severe even tnough there may be no external evidence of injury. State laws have been established stating that the chiropractor is qualified to treat such injuries and to make dis ability evaluations of any result!mi disability. * “Therefore, courts now regard chiropractors as expert witnesses in accident cases. Over 500 insurance companies cover chiropractic treat ment and they are required to recognize disability reports by chi ropractic physicians.” these are the words of Dr. Dennis watts, a practicing chiropractor with offices in Charlotte. 3501 Beatties Ford Rd., and Matthews, 600-51 Hwy. 51, Suite B. This month Dr. Watte, and chiropractors throughout the country, are observ ing the 90th anniversary of the healing art of chiropractic. Dr. Watte concedes that much of the popularity of chiropractic has been attained due to its success in treating auto accident victims. "Yet,” he reveals, “the benefits of spinal manipulation have been known for thousands of yean. It was practiced in Asia, Africa, Greece and by the early American Indians.” Dr. Watts is a graduate of Palmer College of Chiropractic in Daven port, Iowa, an institution that is named for the man who developed the modern form of spinal mani pulation, what is now called chiro practic. “By the late 1800s in the U.S., scientific research on spinal mani pulation was limited,” claims Dr. Watts. “That is, until D.D. Palmer, after reading reports from ancient Greece and Africa, began a re search project aimed at investigat ing the scientific and clinical aspects of spinal manipulation. "Dr. Palmer’s data, when com bined with other available scien tific knowledge, convinced him that the brain is the control center of the body and messages are carried through the spinal cord and nerves to the various parts of the body.” lean & Tender Boston Butt USDA CWet Burf Rou«4 - Full Cut Boneless Round Steak I Sum White ^Cauliflower - I MM- hm e* urn FmMMtCW.feikMieiMli Coca Cola Sl‘1 i Twin Pel Dam Dish Ih-k ■' fja w ,, is1'- i i ipfi i ,| ’> i,vi'cn Tli ' fail'lli ' | jj||| I !iv*1
