In the last 30 to 40 years there have been numerous studies done in the United States and other countries to try and find out which treatment for low back problems caused by on-the-job injuries were the most cost effective.

From Australia to Canada to the United States and others the studies revealed that, in almost all cases, Chiropractic care was less costly and patients treated with Chiropractic care returned to work faster than did their counterparts who received typical medical treatment for their back injuries.

The majority of these studies were done by the Federal Governments of their respective countries and with the involvement of Workers Compensation boards and other government institutions. The reason,for the most part,that these studies were performed was not to validate Chiropractic care (or Medical care) but to assess which treatment protocol was the most cost effective.

The reason was and still is simple; workers compensation claims for low back injuries are incredibly costly. Literally billions of dollars are spent every year for the care and treatment of workers compensation injuries and the time lost from work as they recover from their injuries. The governments of these countries, looking for a way to save millions of dollars, were only doing these studies to find a cheaper, quicker way to take care of workers compensation claims.

What they found out was that affordable chiropractic care is the hands-down best way to do it.

In Australia, for example, a study of nearly 2000 workers comp cases showed that patients who receive Chiropractic care return to work nearly 4 times faster then those who receive typical medical treatment for their injuries. Not only that, the cost of their treatments was nearly 4 times less. They also found that those who went to the Chiropractor had a lower chance of progressing to ‘chronic’ low back pain.

The Manga Report from Canada showed practically the same thing; that workers who are injured on the job return to work faster and their treatments are less costly than those who were treated with typical medical care.

The Manga report also revealed a number of other findings that were very positive towards Chiropractic, namely that patients who had been to the Chiropractor had reported a high level of satisfaction with their care and, more importantly, that Chiropractic care is safer than medical care for the treatment of low back pain.

It was because of this report that Chiropractic care was voted to be covered completely by the Ontario Health Insurance Plan

In the United States, a California study headed by Dr. Richard Wolf, MD, found that, of the 1000 patients that he and his team studied, those who had received Chiropractic care returned to work in just under 16 days compared to 32 days for those who had gotten typical medical treatment for their low back injuries suffered on the job. That is to say, they returned to work in half the time.

As you can see these reports overwhelmingly found that Chiropractic care was better than medical care time and time again for the treatment of back problems. Less time (in many cases much less) and less money is spent for Chiropractic care, no matter the country. A handful of the studies all state the same fact; Chiropractic is the best treatment for workers compensation back injuries.
