In a recent report, researchers compared patients (Medicare beneficiaries from 66 to 99 years of age) seeing a chiropractor versus a primary care physician (PCP). The patients needed care for a neuromusculoskeletal problem. The probability of injury or risk of injury to head/neck/trunk of a patient within 7 days of the visit was 76% LOWER for chiropractic office visit patients than those patients who saw a PCP:
- Chiropractic: only 40 per 100,000 patients
- PCP: 152 per 100,000 patients (1)
