Med Pay

"Med Pay" is short for Medical Pay. It is a provision in an automotive insurance policy that provides money to health providers in the event you are injured in an auto accident. You must have already purchased Med Pay as a part of your Policy.

Most insurance companies will ask you if you want a provision for Med Pay when you purchase your policy. Some people don't know if they have it or not. Call your auto insurance agent. It is cheap to own and convenient if, God forbid, you should need it. It is usually sold in increments of $2,000.00, $5,000.00, and $10,000.00 per person, insured as passengers in your car, when involved in a car wreck.

Vertebral Subluxation Complex

Vertebral subluxation is the term used by chiropractors for the underlying cause of the many signs and symptoms they attribute to misaligned or abnormally functioning spinal vertebrae. A key component of the concept is that subluxated vertebrae must alter the function of the nervous system and at some point compromise health. The founder of chiropractic, D.D. Palmer, in 1895 suggested that "95% of all diseases were the result of subluxations." Since then, the definition has been altered and refined many times by chiropractors, who use the term to explain why chiropractic may be effective for very diverse conditions.
