There are two bottom lines for you, as a good Chiropractor. First and most important is a successful outcome for your patients. Your best efforts while attending to a patient's needs through soft tissue and osseous manipulation can be enhanced through the knowledgeable addition of supplementation to their plan of care. Specific supplementation to improve the body's ability to produce optimal levels of Ca2+ATPase, a key calcium regulating enzyme, will certainly benefit your principal goal. Second, you must consider your financial bottom line to insure you remain viable as a Chiropractor and available to your patients for years to come. Recommending high quality, well researched supplements and making them available to your patients in your office not only contributes positively to your financial bottom line, it is a clear indication to each of your patients that you are engaged and invested in optimizing and maintaining their health and wellbeing. That is a long-term investment in both bottom lines.
