Medical Costs Associated With Chiropractic Care

Arch Intern Med. 2005;165(11):1313-1314. doi:10.1001/archinte.165.11.1313

Legorreta and colleagues1 suggested that open access to chiropractic care could decrease health care expenditures for neuromusculoskeletal disorders because a chiropractor would be used as a substitute for traditional care, not as an add-on. They concluded that access to managed chiropractic care may be clinically beneficial. I believe, however, that this statement should not be made before 2 important questions are satisfactorily answered.
