Color us skeptical, but new research suggests that chiropractic care may,
indeed, lead to lower costs in some
types of workers’ compensation claims.
The Workers’ Compensation Research Institute (WCRI) announced last month the
release of its new study titled Chiropractic
Care for Workers with Low Back Pain, which considered data from 28
states, including Texas. The results may be surprising to some. Among the
study’s key findings were that claims with care provided exclusively by
chiropractors were associated with lower costs and shorter duration of
temporary disability than a set of claims with similar characteristics where
care was exclusively provided by non-chiropractic providers.

According to its website, the WCRI is an independent, not-for-profit research
organization based in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Organized in 1983, the
Institute does not take positions on the issues it researches; rather, it
provides information obtained through studies and data collection efforts which
conform to recognized scientific methods. Objectivity is further insured
through rigorous, unbiased peer review procedures.
