What do Medical Doctors say about Chiropractic Treatment?
Many medical professionals nationwide express confidence in chiropractic care. Leading members of the medical community not only refer to chiropractors, but they also turn to chiropractic care for their own personal healthcare challenges.
“Chiropractors were right. Many headaches are caused by damaged structures in the neck-and scientific evidence proves it.”
- Peter Rothbart, M.D., Anesthesiologist/Pain Specialist
“I’m an orthopedic surgeon, so I treat all sorts of back problems and I’m a big believer in chiropractic.”
- William Lauerman, M.D., Chief of Spine Surgery and Professor of Orthopedic Surgery at Georgetown University Hospital
“Patients who seek manual therapy, and especially chiropractic care, consistently report a high level of satisfaction with their care.”
- Jeffrey Fischgrund, M.D., Orthopedic Surgeon, Editor of NECK PAIN, published by The American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons
“The agency for health care policy and research (ahcpr) recently made history when it concluded that spinal manipulative therapy is the most effective and cost effective treatment for acute low back pain.” (Chiropractors perform 94% of the spinal manipulation in the U.S.)
- Marc Micozzi, M.D., PhD., College of Physicians and Surgeons of Philadelphia
“Our trial showed that chiropractic is a very effective treatment, more effective than conventional hospital outpatient treatment for low back pain, particularly in patients who have severe problems.”
- T.W Meade, M.D.
“Whiplash injuries are common. Chiropractic is the only proven effective treatment. Conventional (medical) treatment of whiplash symptoms is disappointing. 93% of the patients studied under chiropractic care for whiplash had improved.”
- Gordon Bannister, M.D. Orthopedic Surgeon and Researcher
“As an ob-gyn, I know chiropractic care is the best treatment for common back aches and joint problems experienced by many women during pregnancy. I refer all my patients to doctors of chiropractic (DC’s) for these problems. As we all know, the less medications taken by pregnant women, the better it is for her yet-to-be born child. Over the years, I have seen the benefits of the care only a DC can provide and significantly reduce a pregnant mother’s reliance upon pain and narcotic medications.”
- Jason Rexroth, M.D., OB-GYN
“Doesn’t surprise me a bit. Neck pain is a mechanical problem, and it makes sense that mechanical treatment works better than a chemical one.”
- Lee Green, M.D., Professor of Family Medicine, University of Michigan
