Poll Says Consumers Want and
Appreciate Chiropractic
In a report released on January 10, 2000 from the
development firm Sorelli B of Illinois comes the results
of a survey that shows the public wants chiropractic and
considers it a necessary part of health care coverage.
Over 400 random adults from all over the US participated
in the survey. Here are some of the results.
Over 46% said that they strongly agree that,
"chiropractic benefits should become core benefits in my
health plan." Only 33% of those who had visited a
chiropractor in the year before the survey had those
visits covered by insurance. Interestingly enough,
slightly more people, 36% were willing to pay more than
$20 for a visit to a chiropractor while only 32% were
willing to pay that amount to see an MD. In addition,
64% were willing to increase their monthly insurance
premium to include chiropractic care in their policy.
Patient satisfaction with chiropractic care was also
surveyed. The results were equally impressive. Of those
surveyed 37% agreed strongly that, "spending money on
chiropractic today saves me money tomorrow." When
compared to medicine, chiropractic did well in the
consumers eyes. A full 14% of respondents reported that
their condition was the same or got worse after going to
the MD, while only 2% said they were no better or worse
following the chiropractic visit. Amazingly, 93%
expressed that they had a positive outcome after
chiropractic care compared with 81% for medical care.
But probably the best measure was that aside from having
a positive outcome 60% of consumers in the survey
reported that, "my chiropractor has improved the quality
of my life."
