There is a disagreement between various chiropractic specialties regarding the best types of treatment for a patient. Regardless of technique, chiropractors should agree that a patient who completes a treatment plan will have a higher likelihood of success.
Chiropractors may complain about their income, but most patients are discharged after 4-8 visits. If they did the minimal amount the Mercy guidelines suggest, they could have an additional 4-8 visits. That would lead to longer-term functional outcomes and reduce the number of latent flare-ups.
People get regular check-ups with their family doctor, dentist, and optometrist, but they fail to seek preventative musculoskeletal evaluations and treatments. It’s the number one cause of disability, leading to billions in healthcare costs.
Better treatment plan adherence is the chiropractor’s chance to change that paradigm. And adherence to a chiropractor’s care reduces overall cost.
