Study Suggests Chiropractic Care Reduces Primary Care Visits for Medicare Patients with Neck and Low Back Pain

Dr. Luke Henry, Chiropractic Physician

According to a study by Davis et al in the Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine, the availability of chiropractic services was associated with decreased burden on primary care due to Medicare patients suffering from neck pain or low back pain. There has been concern over the coming primary care shortage. Doctors of chiropractic (AKA chiropractic physicians) are well qualified to provide nonsurgical relief for neck and back pain. Chiropractors are trained in diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation and prevention. Most insurances cover chiropractic services. If you are suffering from neck or back pain, don’t wait, call a doctor of chiropractic today to get started on the road to recovery!
