Chiropractic Treatment More Cost Effective for Work Injuries

Getting back to the medical literature, here is a synopsis of a recent research study from the June issue of the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine. 
This study of over 13,000 work related back injuries found chiropractic to be the least expensive of five treatment categories, including more than 50% less expensive than physical therapy.
They concluded that this was probably because the chiropractors followed the research based back treatment guidelines better than any of the other providers.
This is the latest of a long list of studies showing chiropractic care to be less expensive, yet insurers many times think that by cutting chiropractic coverage they will save money.
Why do you think there is this irrational action by insurers?

Employers Need Chiropractic First and Sooner
