In recent years, numerous independent researchers and various government agencies have conducted studies which focus on the efficacy, appropriateness and cost-effectiveness of chiropractic treatment. Many of these important studies are discussed.
Chiropractic Research Demonstrates the Cost Effectiveness of Chiropractic Care
submitted by Dr. Gary Farr 4/18/2002
Today's escalating medical costs, particularly of occupational low-back injuries, reflect a growing legal, health care and economic crisis in the United States. Estimates of the total annual loss, including lost productivity, due to back pain in the United States range from $20 to $50 billion. To address this issue, over the past two decades, a great many scientific studies have been published in peer reviewed journals, government publications and other resources demonstrating significant cost savings obtainable through chiropractic. By one estimate, the increasing rate of serious back injuries per year is 1,400 percent greater than the rate of population growth.
Chiropractic: An Alternative Healing Art Enters The Mainstream

Movement of the vertebrae in the cervical spine from C-2 to C-7 is revealed upon Videofluoroscopic Joint Motion Study Examination. A differentiation between normal and abnormal findings is obtainable. The pattern of motion(15) observed is interpreted diagnostically.
Low Speed Rear-Impact Collisions - Physical Laws Related to Injuries Incurred
submitted by Dr. Gary Farr 4/20/2002
The subject of low-speed rear-impact collisions, as related to injuries resulting from them, is an ongoing topic for debate. Particularly useful in this regard is an understanding of the underlying physical laws and engineering principles related to motion and force. These principles help explain how injury can be a byproduct of a rear-end impact, despite the fact that the vehicle involved incurs minimal to no damage.
Patient Satisfaction with Chiropractic Care

Video Fluoroscopy: Its Necessity and Use
submitted by Dr. Gary Farr 4/20/2002
Musculoskeletal imaging has been profoundly affected by the development of video fluoroscopy. This is a motion x-ray, which is performed while the patient goes through extension and flexion movements. Video fluoroscopy allows us to evaluate subtle variations of motion throughout the entire arc of motion dynamically. I believe this to be the most reliable source of evidence available of soft tissue injury and/or ligamentous damage.
