Chiropractic in 2008:

Chiropractic medicine is becoming an integrated part of mainstream healthcare. There are approximately 190 million visits to chiropractic physicians each year¹. Orthopedists, neurologists and primary care physicians are becoming increasingly aware of the many benefits of chiropractic care for their patients. One recent survey of primary care physicians found that two thirds of medical physicians felt "moderately" or "very" informed about chiropractic medicine. Furthermore, 65 % admitted referring patients to chiropractors and 98% of chiropractors made routine referrals to medical physicians². More and more chiropractors are communicating with medical doctors via patient reports and phone calls, incorporating outcome assessment and designing treatment plans with a clear beginning, middle and end.
