Florida Study

Claims from 10 000 cases (1985-86) showed: under standard medical care the patient was disabled for 59 days: under chiropractic, 39 days. Consequently, the shortened disability time reduced the average cost of chiropractic care to less than half of that for medical treatment of the same condition.

 

Oregon Study

Revealed that under medical care, 41% could return to work after one week but under chiropractic care, 82 % were able to return to work after one week.

 

Ontario Study

There is now considerable empirical support for the cost-effectiveness and the safety of chiropractic management of musculoskeletal disorders.  So much so that doubling the proportion of Ontario public who visit chiropractors for these problems will lead to a direct annual savings of $348 million to the Ontario health care system.
