Millions of Americans turn to chiropractic care every year tfor relief of pain. Many either cannot tolerate or do not want to subect themselves to traditional medical approaches. Chiropractic has been proven scientifically to be both as effective and less expensive than its alternatives, which recieve full reimbursement. It has, however, been discriminated against for years by the medicare and medicaid systems, which limit payment to only one service, and refuse to reimburse for even the initial exam recieved in a chiropractors office, effectively creating a barrier to many patients for whom it would the the service of choice, but who lack the means of paying for the uncovered services. Studies show that for low back pain, chiropactic care is better and cheaper. Pay for it.
