January 2025 Healthy News from Amelia Chiropractic Clinic Growth of Chiropractic Benefit and Satisfaction for All
CHIROPRACTIC CARE GROWS IN SATISFACTION…AND DEMAND!
Chiropractic care is growing rapidly in both public and Veterans Affairs (VA) facilities, thanks to growing patient demand and high satisfaction rates. A 2024 review of patient encounters by Newell et al in J Patient Exp highlighted how much people appreciate chiropractic care, with many stating better quality of life and a decreased need for opioids—a huge win considering the focus on trying to fix the opioid crisis. (1) Within VA facilities, chiropractic services are evolving as a key part of personalized, holistic care for veterans, helping 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 turning to chiropractic care for successful, non-invasive solutions to manage chronic pain and musculoskeletal issues. (2) This reflects a larger shift in healthcare, as patients and providers alike recognize chiropractic care as a proven, integrative approach to tackling common problems like back and neck pain. Both patients and public health leaders are recognizing the key role chiropractic care plays in expanding access to safe, effective pain management. This growth not only reflects a positive change in how chiropractic care is viewed but also opens up opportunities to integrate it more into healthcare systems, helping a wide range of patients. Great news! Amelia Chiropractic Clinic is ready to welcome patients to the practice!
