In the healing professions, the ultimate goal of treatment is patient
satisfaction. Consistent with the research findings provided here on cost,
further studies demonstrate that for many complaints and injuries
involving the spine, other joints and connective structures, chiropractic
enhances the patient's treatment experience in terms of immediate relief
of pain, hastened restoration of mobility and flexibility, an improved
long-term prognosis and fewer repeat visits over time. Clearly, all these
patient benefits translate into cost savings for the consumer and the
insurer, but strictly in terms of patient satisfaction and health
benefits, studies repeatedly confirm the efficacy of chiropractic care. |
