With over 84,000 licensed chiropractors nationwide and more than 10,000 students currently enrolled in chiropractic school, it is the fastest growing health care profession. Chiropractic medicine and indoor health care are an increasingly recognized and natural fit. Chiropractic medicine is a form of natural health care that focuses on treating a patient without the use of drugs. Every year, more than 30 million Americans see Doctors of Chiropractic as part of their regular health care program.

Indoor health care, similarly, is gaining attention as the next field alert in general medicine, wellness, and treatable home environmental factors. Chiropractors, as Indoor health Care Associates, often prescribe a "REM Mate" air purifier unit for patients' bedrooms, to enrich a pure air bedroom environment and a rich, pure sleep, which keenly benefits whole health. "REM Mate" is an innovation from Indoor Health Care Network,www.indoorhealthcare.com , the leading force in bridging the gap between health care and home environment care.

Working with chiropractors, Indoor Health Care Network has designed programs that are being modeled throughout the country to provide dialogue between doctor and patient, share information, educate health professionals and patients on healthy home products and services, all from the direction of our network of Indoor Health Care Associates, which welcomes chiropractors to qualify as an Associate.

To the extent that indoor air experts merge their guiding information, technology and indoor service practices and methodologies with the medical clinicians who are diagnosing patients' problems, the ability to arrest these problems increases exponentially.

A chiropractor is involved in the treatment and prevention of disease, as well as the promotion of public health, and a wellness approach to patient healthcare. When a chiropractor involves indoor health care in their healing focus, they go beyond the patient, to the patient's home environment, which even in the finest of homes is too often the scene of the crime for what ails the patient.

Chiropractors frequently treat individuals with problems, such as headaches, joint pain, neck pain, low back pain and sciatica. Chiropractors also treat patients with osteoarthritis, spinal disk conditions, carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, sprains, and strains. However, the scope of conditions that chiropractors manage or provide care for is not limited to the common pains and problems listed above. Chiropractors who invest their attention to wellness programs go beyond the patient, to alert and question the patient's home environment to aspects of wellness and prevention.

Chiropractors have extensive training to treat a variety of conditions such as allergies, asthma, digestive disorders, all of which are cited by scientific and medical research to derive significantly from preventable and treatable indoor environmental issues.

The Hippocratic Oath, "first do no harm," is now cited by medical practitioners as a warning to our very homes. This significant extension of health care and wellness attention has a long way to go, but is gaining a groundswell of interest and advancement from a growing list of concerned chiropractors educated in "indoor health care."
