Study On Complementary and Alternative Medicine
A recent study performed with over 12,000 adults aged 17 and
above showed that complementary and alternative medicine (which includes
chiropractic care) is a cost-effective alternative to medical treatment. Users
of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) had $424 lower annual medical
costs for spinally related conditions and a whopping $796 lower annual bill for
their total health care costs.
In this study, all cost generating services such as those
accrued during outpatient procedures or visits, inpatient hospital stays,
emergency room visits, and medication prescriptions were included. These expenditures were evaluated for both
users of CAM and non-users of CAM with the results found above being
discovered. In other words, it appears that people who use CAM as part of their
health care regimen have lower overall healthcare costs.
