Is Chiropractic Expensive?
Chiropractic is a low-cost health care for a wide range of conditions. Studies conducted according to the highest scientific standards and published by organizations not affiliated in any way with chiropractic institutions or associations continue to show the clinical appropriateness and effectiveness of chiropractic care. One of the most recent, funded by the Ontario Ministry of Health, stated emphatically that: “On the evidence, particularly the most scientifically valid clinical studies, spinal manipulation applied by chiropractors is shown to be more effective than alternative treatments for low back pain…There would be highly significant cost savings if more management of low back pain was transferred from physician to chiropractors.
Many private insurance plans, workplaces and unions help cover the costs of Chiropractic care. Chiropractic is increasingly recognized as the most cost-effective and beneficial back pain treatment. This is especially true when compared to the expense of other back pain therapies or the productivity cost of lost time from work.
