Chiropractic Care Reduces Health Care Costs?

Chiropractic Care Reduces Health Care Costs?

Results of a one-year pilot study by Blue Cross and Blue Shield in 2008 suggest that the use of chiropractic and other physical medicine services attributed to overall reduced costs of health care.
Patients who received chiropractic care or physical therapy had lower total health care costs and were less likely to have surgery than demographically similar Blue Cross members who did not receive chiropractic care; overall, 89 percent of all patients receiving physical medicine services reported improvement of at least 30 percent within 30 days.
The spinal manipulation done by your chiropractor aids in reducing pain, decreases medication, rapidly advances physical therapy, and requires very few passive forms of treatment, such as bed rest.
