Chiropractic Should Be FIRST Choice for Neck Pain

A recent study in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) revealed that during the period 1997 and 2005 costs for "standard medical management" of neck and back pain increased by 65%, while disability caused by these conditions increased! During this same period, there was also and overall increase in the number of individuals who experienced neck or back pain.

However during this same time period, the inclusion of a chiropractic benefit in a large managed care program resulted in significant savings, as well as a reduction in rates of surgery, unnecessary use of advanced imaging, inpatient care and x-rays.

These two studies along with many others make it clear that chiropractic should be the first choice of management for those with neck and back pain.
