Chiropractic care is a form of alternative medicine that is based on the idea that your body is capable of healing itself. Chiropractic care uses the help of specific hands-on manipulations from a trained professional to assist the body in its healing process. The theory is that with the proper alignment of the body’s musculoskeletal structure it should enable the body to heal itself without needing surgery or medicine. Manipulations are used to restore mobility to joints that have been restricted by tissue injuries that might have been caused by traumatic events, like falling or stressed muscles.

Data from the American Heart Association’s Heart & Stroke Statistics show there are more than 356,000 out of hospital cardiac arrests annually in the U.S. and nearly 90% are fatal. According to the research done by the National Safety Council, if there was an increase to the access of Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs), then it could potentially save as many as 40,000 lives each year. To aid in decreasing the fatality of cardiac arrest, many states in the U.S. that have mandated AEDs in public buildings but private companies have been slower to adapt this concept to their own facilities. Cardiac arrest can occur suddenly and without any warning which is why OSHA encourages employers to provide AEDs in the workplace and other public places. Having AEDs installed in the workplace can bring peace of mind to the employees and the employers by providing life saving abilities to people with no training.
