Chiropractic Research

Research can speak volumes about the successes and failures of a profession. Chiropractic is still in its infancy (118 years) as far as research goes. Still, however, chiropractic has been able to hold its own in a variety of conditions and situations.

• 395,641 were admitted to hospitals for various conditions. Of those, 25% saw a chiropractor after their visit. Those who saw a chiropractor spent an average of $1,000 less on treatments over the next 2 years.
• In one study, employees with chronic low back pain only missed a median of 9 days from work when seeing a chiropractor. Those who saw a medical doctor missed a median of 34.5 days.
• 1.7 millions health insurance claims were analyzed – the results? Chiropractic care cut the cost of treating back pain by 28%. It reduced hospitalizations by 41%, reduced back surgeries by 32%, and reduced the cost of medical imaging by 37%. Chiropractic care actually saves money in the long run.
• In a study of 316 infants with moderate to severe colic 94% showed a good response within 14 days of chiropractic care.

More and more research surfaces every day. We are constantly improving and adapting to the best available treatments and that is why we are consistently able to help improve people’s lives.
