What do workers
compensation studies reveal?
To date there are over 60 well documented studies that prove that chiropractic
care is the safest and most effective way to treat injuries of the spine. Time after time it is a fact that the typical patient
will get better in half the time if they see a chiropractor for a spinal injury instead of going with more traditional care.
Below you will find case studies from around the United States.
California Study:
C. Richard Wolf,
M.D. compared 500 people sent to medical doctors and 500 sent to chiropractors. The chiropractic patients returned to the
job after 15.6 days, while those under medical care remained disabled 32 days.
Florida Study:
Claims from 10,000
cases showed: under standard medical care the patient was disabled for 59 days and under chiropractic care that number dropped
to 39 days. Because of the shortened disability time the average cost of chiropractic care was less than half that of medical
care for the same conditions.
Oregon Study:
An Oregon study revealed
that under medical care 41% could return to work after one week, but under chiropractic care 82% were able to return to work
after one week. Patient satisfaction was also higher in the group treated by chiropractors.
Utah Study:
A study of 3,062
back injury claims revealed chiropractic care cost a fraction of what medical care would have cost. People under medical care
returned to work after 21 days, those under chiropractic care returned to work after 3 days.
Medical studies don’t lie.
