(JMPT) The October issue of JMPT discuss the benefits of Chiropractic care.

Cost-Effectiveness of Medical and Chiropractic Care for Acute and Chronic Low Back Pain by Haas M, Sharma R, Stano M on pages 555-563 of the October issue showed "Chiropractic office costs were higher for both acute and chronic patients (P < .01). When referrals were included, there were no significant differences in either group between provider types (P > .20). Acute and chronic chiropractic patients experienced better outcomes in pain, functional disability, and patient satisfaction (P < .01); clinically important differences in pain and disability improvement were found for chronic patients only."
