Widespread Use of Chiropractic Care |
 |
The increasing
interest in alternative forms of care has caught the attention
of several health associations and government agencies. A
1993 study in the New England Journal of Medicine reported
that "The estimated number of visits made in 1990 to
providers of unconventional therapy was greater than the number
of visits to all primary care medical nationwide," and
chiropractic was among the most frequently used non-medical
therapies.
A followup
report published in the Journal of the American Medical Association
in 1998 found that the use of non-medical treatments had increased
significantly since the 1990 survey, with "overall prevalence
of use increased by 25%, total visits by an estimated 47%,
and expenditures on services provided by practitioners of
alternative therapies by an estimated 45%." Of the survey
respondents, one in nine (11%) had used chiropractic care
within the previous year. |
