January 2025 Healthy News from Young Chiropractic Growth of Chiropractic Benefit and Satisfaction for All
CHIROPRACTIC CARE GROWS IN SATISFACTION…AND DEMAND!
Chiropractic care is expanding rapidly in both public and Veterans Affairs (VA) facilities, thanks to growing patient demand and high satisfaction rates. A 2024 review of patient experiences by Newell et al in J Patient Exp featured 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 becoming 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 coming to chiropractic care for effective, non-invasive solutions to manage chronic pain and musculoskeletal issues. (2) This reveals a larger shift in healthcare, as patients and providers alike recognize chiropractic care as a proven, integrative way to tackling common issues 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 presents opportunities to integrate it more into healthcare systems, helping a wide range of patients. Great news! Young Chiropractic is ready to welcome patients to the practice!
