How does the cost of chiropractic care for low back pain compare to your alternatives?
A study was published in 2016 consisting of 73,326 patients with chronic low back pain.
"This study found that older multiply-comorbid patients who used only CMT during their cLBP episodes had lower overall costs of care, shorter episodes, and lower cost of care per episode day than patients in the other treatment groups. Further, costs of care for the episode and per episode day were lower for patients who used a combination of CMT and conventional medical care than for patients who did not use".
