It is the principal form of treatment used by DCs and may be used together with other supporting forms of treatment depending on the patient's specific needs. Both the thoroughness of the chiropractic evaluation that precedes treatment and the specificity of the chiropractic adjustments provided during each patient visit characterize this form of manipulation and make it especially effective. Chiropractic care is widely used by the public for back pain and its related disorders. The DC is trained to personally manage each patient's care and perform all manipulative treatment determined to be necessary. The DC's skills, personal attention to the changing needs of the patient, and careful use of chiropractic manipulative procedures combine to make chiropractic care effective.
Chiropractic care is one of the most cost effective forms of care for back problems.
Probably the most compelling recent evidence to support this fact comes from a study funded by the Government of Ontario to examine the worldwide scientific literature on the effectiveness of chiropractic care for low back disorders. One of its key findings states that the government would realize highly significant savings if chiropractors provided care for Ontario patents with low back pain. Ask your insurance plan administrator to add full, direct access chiropractic services coverage to your plan for both you and your dependents. And be sure to specify that you want these chiropractic services to be provided only by a Doctor of Chiropractic. Send mail to webmaster with questions or comments about this web site.
