Work Injuries

Suffering with a work injury? You are not alone. Each year millions of Americans are injured at work. Work injuries range from improper lifting, falling, sitting improperly, repetitive stress or other traumas. Back injuries are the number one work-related injury in the United States. Workers Compensation plans show that more than twice as many work injury claims are made for back injuries than any other type of injury. Studies have shown 85% of the population will experience disabling back pain at least once during their lives!

What do workers compensation studies reveal?
To date there are over 60 well-documented studies that prove that chiropractic care is the safest and most effective way to treat injuries of the spine. Time after time it is a fact that the typical patient will get better in half the time if they see a chiropractor for a spinal injury instead of going with more traditional care. Below you will find case studies from around the United States.

California Study:
C. Richard Wolf, M.D. compared 500 people sent to medical doctors and 500 sent to chiropractors. The chiropractic patients returned to the job after 15.6 days, while those under medical care remained disabled 32 days.

Florida Study:
Claims from 10,000 cases showed: under standard medical care the patient was disabled for 59 days and under chiropractic care that number dropped to 39 days. Because of the shortened disability time the average cost of chiropractic care was less than half that of medical care for the same conditions.

Oregon Study:
An 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. Patient satisfaction was also higher in the group treated by chiropractors.

Utah Study:
A study of 3,062 back injury claims revealed chiropractic care cost a fraction of what medical care would have cost. People under medical care returned to work after 21 days, those under chiropractic care returned to work after 3 days.

Medical studies don’t lie.
