Whatever your idea of natural health care is, you’re going to be pleasantly surprised when you visit Universal Health Institute. Located in the Gold Coast, on the corner of Chestnut and State streets, UHI is a place where people can count on non-drug and non-surgical options to take care of their health problems.
“It’s true that sometimes there is no way to avoid drugs or surgery,” says Dr. Amelia Case, head of UHI. “However, people are looking for options that have fewer side-effects and serious risks. Natural health care is the future of health care because it is a bona fide way to take care of most problems safely and effectively.”
The facts support Dr. Case’s statement. Millions of Americans choose natural health care methods over traditional medical care. In fact, 60 percent of the population is currently using natural health care, and researchers say that number increases each year.
Traditional medicine no longer resides on the pedestal it once did. Today, the fact that medical error follows heart disease, cancer, and strokes as the fourth leading cause of death in the U.S. is no secret.
“Americans have become more savvy about their health care,” says Dr. Case. “They search for safer means to manage their health problems, and find what they are looking for in a place like ours.”
Universal Health Institute employs Chiropractic Physicians and Medical Physicians who work together to guide patients through care programs that include chiropractic, physical therapy, massage therapy, manual therapy, foot reflexology, nutrition, craniosacral therapy, acupuncture and homeopathy. Physicians and therapists are board certified and licensed practitioners who join forces under a philosophy that was built on the basic tenet of the chiropractic profession: Healing occurs from the inside out.
What differentiates UHI from the common medical or surgical practice is that its team of professionals strives to enhance each patient’s health for life. First, they create a personal treatment plan, then they work with the patient to achieve goals that are important in the patient’s life. Finally, they remain true to the patient’s wellness by actively providing maintenance for balance and vitality.
Universal Health Institute is located at 8 E. Chestnut St. Call (312) 266-9090.
