Why chiropractic care?
Historically, many have come to know that chiropractic treatments alleviate most pain. However, many may not understand that the primary goal of the chiropractor is to help restore function in the nervous system, thereby maintaining an equilibrium by allowing the body to self-heal and to reestablish that sense of well-being. One method includes the use of an infamous low force spinal adjusting instrument known as an Activator, which helps to stimulate proprioceptors, and can assist in retraining the way the brain senses and perceives different levels of pain. The Activator is just one of the many different methods that a chiropractor may employ.
The California Study - chiropractic patients get back to work sooner
In this study, Richard Wolf, M.D. followed 500 individuals sent for chiropractic treatments and 500 individuals sent to medical doctors for treatment. Those who received chiropractic treatments returned to work in an average of 15.6 days vs. 32 days in those who received treatments from medical doctors.

Chiropractic treatments for Osteoarthritis (OA):
Although there is no evidence that chiropractic care can stop joint damage from OA, some clinical studies indicate that spinal manipulation may:
• Increase range of motion
• Restore normal movement of the spine
• Relax the muscles
• Improve joint coordination
• Reduce pain
A review of the scientific literature suggests that chiropractic, especially when combined with glucosamine supplements and stretches and exercise, helps treat OA. Chiropractors will avoid using direct thrusts or pressure on red, swollen joints.

Chiropractic is considered cost-effective for treating low back pain according to a study by BlueCross BlueShield in Tennessee:
Workers' Compensation & Return to Work Studies (Utah & Florida)
A number of workers' compensation studies have shown chiropractic care to be superior to medical care in the treatment of on the job back injuries. Chiropractors have been able to get their patients out of pain and back to work faster and with lower treatment costs.
The Utah Study - fewer costs and days lost
The Florida Study - shorter disability/lower costs/lower hospitalization rates
The Utah Study - fewer costs and days lost
This 1988 Utah workers' compensation board study found a tenfold savings for mean compensation costs in back-related injuries treated by chiropractors as compared with medical doctors ($68.38 vs. $668.39). To ensure accurate and true results, only those back-related injuries with the same diagnostic codes were compared between the two treatment groups. Also, the medical treatments assessed were limited to nonsurgical medical treatments only.

The Florida Study - shorter disability/lower costs/lower hospitalization rates
This large State of Florida study examined 10,652 patients who sustained back-related injuries on the job. Their findings revealed that individuals who received chiropractic care compared with standard medical care for similar diagnoses experienced had a
51.3 percent shorter temporary total disability duration
lower treatment cost by 58.8 percent ($558 vs. $1,100 per case)
20.3 percent hospitalization rate in the chiropractic care group vs. 52.2 percent rate in the medical care group.
