Chiropractic is Better and Cheaper- Study Suggests

A study published this May shows that chiropractic patients have lower costs and higher patient satisfaction levels than patients treated by conventional medical doctors!

Researchers found that over the course of the seven-year study, patients visiting chiropractors (and other alternative health care physicians) had 60 percent fewer hospitalizations, 62 percent fewer outpatient surgical cases, and 85 percent lower drug costs when compared with total network HMO utilization rates and costs.

Lastly, the study found that patients seeing chiropractors (and other alternative health care physicians) consistently rated higher levels of patient satisfaction than patients who saw conventional medical doctors.

Study published in the May edition of the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics.
