January 2025 Healthy News from Chiropractic Solutions Growth of Chiropractic Benefit and Satisfaction for All
CHIROPRACTIC CARE GROWS IN SATISFACTION…AND DEMAND!
Chiropractic care is expanding rapidly in both public and Veterans Affairs (VA) facilities, thanks to increasing patient demand and high satisfaction rates. A 2024 review of patient encounters by Newell et al in J Patient Exp featured how much people appreciate chiropractic care, with many stating better quality of life and a decreased need for opioids—a huge win given the focus on addressing the opioid crisis. (1) Within VA facilities, chiropractic services are becoming a key part of personalized, holistic care for veterans, assisting with both acute and chronic pain needs. Bensel et al reported in Plos One shared research within the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) demonstrated that more veterans are coming to chiropractic care for successful, non-invasive solutions to contain chronic pain and musculoskeletal issues. (2) This exposes a bigger shift in healthcare, as patients and providers alike recognize chiropractic care as a proven, integrative approach to handling common issues like back and neck pain. Both patients and public health leaders are seeing the key role chiropractic care plays in expanding access to safe, effective pain management. This growth not only shows a beneficial change in how chiropractic care is seen but also presents opportunities to integrate it more into healthcare systems, helping a wide range of patients. Nice news! Chiropractic Solutions is ready to welcome patients to the practice!
