By: Russell Altman, PT, DPT Investing in your health can mean many things, such as eating right, exercising, de-stressing, utilizing proper nutrition, getting the right amount of sleep, visiting the correct medical professionals. All of these can impact your life in a huge way and it is important to take owner- ship of these investments. One over- looked investment that has many moving parts is utilizing the correct medical professionals to steer you on the right course to optimal health. Many people make this decision based on cost and that is not neces- sarily the best idea. The choice of medical professional is more impor- tant for a few different reasons. First, all medical professionals are not created equal and not everyone in the same medical profession is equal. You can have the same aca- demic training but this does not guarantee that the same treatment options will always be chosen. Keep in mind a common saying in the medical field, “Medicine is both an Art and a Science.” This is especial- ly true in the field of Rehabilitation among Physical Therapists and Chi- ropractors. All professionals have different approaches and it is up to you to choose the correct fit to help you invest in your health, cost notwithstanding. Investing in your choice means you need to trust the professional and make them earn your trust. Your trust is earned by good bedside manner, sound clinical judgment and explanations for the treatment plan chosen, and clear objective goals that are derived based on your input and their expertise. Another important point to consid- er is the cost of the investment. You have to ask yourself an important question. How much is my health worth? What am I wiling to spend? Time wise or cost? Is it worth the low copay and in network provider where I will see a different clinician every visit or is it with a higher copay and/or deductible payments to see the same practioner every session and spend some quality time during the treatment? Some people say you get what you pay for and that is very true with this invest- ment. Lastly, the team that you choose should always work for you. Togeth- er, with your input and their expert- ise, you should come to a conclusive goal to work towards and achieve what you set out to do. Many goals can be just to be pain free or to return to a specific activity that you could or would not attempt to try for fear of pain or reinjury. From the initial phone call to the last good- byes, you should feel that you invested in the right people to help you achieve your goals.
