There are many research studies that show chiropractic care is more effective in getting workers back on their feet and back to work. In fact, chiropractic care is more effective and less expensive than traditional medical care in treating the same type of injury, according to the July issue of the Journal of the American Chiropractic Association. In fact, there is a growing trend that medical doctors are referring work-related injuries for chiropractic care.

One study concluded that chiropractic care offered consistent 2-to-1 superiority, and another found that treatment costs in cases managed by doctors of chiropractic increased only 12% between 1986 and 1989, while treatment costs in cases managed by medical doctors increased 71% during the same period. After back injuries, doctors interviewed for the article report that the most common injuries they treat are postural-type strains to the neck and upper back and repetitive strain injuries, such as carpal tunnel syndrome and tendinitis.
