More people utilize and are satisfied with chiropractors

Research is showing that more and more people are using chiropractic to regain and maintain their health and they are very satisfied with the care they are receiving. Following is some recent research that supports this conclusion. According to the November / December 2001 issue of the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapuetics, patient satisfaction surveys show that people are very happy with their experience at their chiropractor's office; 83.3% rated their experience as excellent. An astounding 92.5% stated they would definitely recommend their chiropractor to others. The February 1, 2002 issue of Spine reports that the number of people utilizing the wellness disciplines for their health care has greatly increased. In 1990, 34% of Americans utilized wellness care from outside mainstream medical care. By 1997, this percentage increased to 42%. In 1997, chiropractic accounted for 31 % of those visits. This represents a 100% increase in the number of people seeing chiropractors in the last 20 years. The May 1997 issue of the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapuetics reports that "patients positively endorsed all items on the satisfaction questionnaire, indicating a high level of satisfaction with the care they received." A study reported as far back as the January 1993 issue of the same journal concluded that "Patients expressed high levels of satisfaction with their doctors and the care they received. Although women were slightly more satisfied than men, other patient characteristics such as level of education, income, employment status or previous chiropractic care did not influence [patient's] response [to the surveys]," Commentary: Chiropractic care is being used by more and more people every day, is effective and everyone is very satisfied with it regardless of their social, educational or economic status.
