January 2025 Healthy News from Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation 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 encounters by Newell et al in J Patient Exp featured how much people appreciate chiropractic care, with many stating better quality of life and a reduced need for opioids—a huge win given 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, assisting 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 successful, non-invasive solutions to manage chronic pain and musculoskeletal issues. (2) This reflects a bigger shift in healthcare, as patients and providers alike see chiropractic care as a proven, integrative way to tackling common issues like back and neck pain. Both patients and public health leaders are seeing the key role chiropractic care plays in growing access to safe, effective pain management. This growth not only shows a positive change in how chiropractic care is viewed but also opens up opportunities to integrate it further into healthcare systems, helping a wide range of patients. Great news! Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation is ready to welcome patients to the practice!
