Chiropractic patients express high levels of
satisfaction with their care.
The facts ...
Patients under chiropractic care show higher satisfaction levels than patients under
medical care by a physician.
“Of the 3,562 back-pain sufferers who sought care from non-drug practitioners,
many were more likely to say it helped compared with those who sought care
from medical doctors. But insurance often doesn’t cover ‘alternative’ care.” 26
Make your first call to a professional who can assess your problem, such as
a primary care physician or a chiropractor. “In most cases, you won’t need a
specialist.” 27
A referral makes sense when conservative measures have failed to address your
back pain. “A well-trained chiropractor will work out whether you should be in
their care, the care of a physical therapist or the care of a medical doctor.” 27
Direct consumer feedback on satisfaction with chiropractic care is
stunningly positive.
“95% of past-year chiropractic users say it is effective.” 22
“97% of past-year chiropractic users are likely to see a chiropractor if they have
neck/back pain.” 22
“89% of past-year chiropractic users recommend it to family and friends.” 22
“88% of past-year chiropractic users agree it’s a good value for the money.” 22
“Three in four patients describe chiropractic care as ‘very effective.’” 22
