Q & A with Dr. Q

Answers to commonly asked questions.

How Satisfied are Chiropractic Patients when compared to seeking care from their Primary Care Physician?

In a randomized trial, chiropractic patients were more satisfied with their back care providers after 4 weeks of treatment than were medical patients. This was reported by a randomized control trial from the University of California; per their statement, the study examined the difference in satisfaction between patients assigned to chiropractic care versus seeking care from their medical provider. 


Patient satisfaction is an important component of evaluating care for low back pain, especially because objectively measurable treatment outcomes are largely absent. Among low back pain patients in the United States, about one third as many go to chiropractors as to medical doctors. Your PCP may be skeptical reexamining the chiropractor’s ability to treat low back pain to achieve high patient satisfaction.

​It was also noted that per-visit copayment, visit duration, level of confidence in treatment, average changes in pain and disability in the first 2 weeks was more favorable for those who were seeking Chiropractic care.
