· Just – released pilot study: chiropractic reduces health care costs, need for surgery.
Findings from the Wellmark Blue Cross and Blue Shield 2008 Physical Medicine Pilot on Quality, a one-year pilot program designed to measure patient quality of care, suggest significant clinical outcomes and health care cost reductions attributable to the use of chiropractic and other physical medicine services. Patients who received chiropractic or physical therapy had lower total health care costs and were less likely to have surgery than demographically similar Wellmark members who did not receive services.

Dr. Bob,
ReplyDeleteMy experiences have led me to believe that chiropractic care can be a valuable part of medical care.
It takes time to change peoples attitudes!
Currently, many people and doctors do not believe the same. T
Thanks for your enlightening post!

Hi Pete,
ReplyDeleteI believe that Chiropractic care can work hand in hand with traditional medical care. We do need to educate the public.
Thanks,
