Why is Chiropractic Sought Out by Millions of Americans?
Millions of patients each year experience pain relief and improved mobility from the care delivered by doctors of chiropractic.
Chiropractic has been a healthcare profession for 125 years1, helping people with back and neck pain, headaches and other types of “neuro-musculoskeletal” pain -- while also improving mobility and performance. Today, doctors of chiropractic (DC) provide care in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and other countries, including Portugal, South Af rica, Malaysia, Ireland, Canada, Mexico, Great Britain, Switzerland, Australia, New Zealand, Philippines and Japan. Nearly 36 million individuals in the U.S. each year seek care f rom a DC, and more than 700 million people each year visit a DC worldwide. Not only are these individuals satisfied with their chiropractic care, but scientific studies have also shown chiropractic adjustments are effective for relieving acute and chronic pain, particularly in the back and neck, while also improving mobility. Chiropractic patients also tend to use fewer over-the-counter (OTC) and prescription painkillers and have an overall improved sense of well-being2thanks to continued chiropractic care. DCs could be the right choice for your health. Likeall healthcare decisions, it is important to learn more about the main treatment option performed by DCs, the chiropractic adjustment.
