Does chiropractic care for the low back add up with better savings?

Home» Clinical Care of the spine » Does chiropractic care for the low back add up with better savings?

This page has an excellent overview of the effectiveness and cost effectiveness of chiropractic care for low back pain over a 20 year timespan.

Here are some highlights, see the original post for citations:

1993:  ”there would be highly significant cost savings if more management of LBP was transferred from medical physicians to chiropractors.”
1994:  ”only chiropractic care could both reduce pain AND improve function.”
1995:   “those treated by chiropractic derive more benefit and long term satisfaction than those treated by hospitals.”
2004:  90 billion dollars is spent for the care for back pain every year, and 15% of that was for pain medications. Hint:  it’s probably more than $90B per year now…
2005: “chiropractic scored the highest pain relief rating”
2008: “offering chiropractic services within a managed-care environment could save insurers 27% in back pain episode-related costs!”

    It is very costly to manage neuromusculoskeletal disorders using traditional medicine. When individuals visit chiropractors, a great deal of money is saved.
