Which is More Cost-Effective: Chiropractic or Physiotherapy for Chronic Low Back Pain?

Low back pain, which affects approximately 30% of the global population, is a significant health issue worldwide


Disability due to low back pain has increased by 54% since the 1990s


How long does low back pain take to recover ?

Research indicates that 40–50% of back pain cases improve within the first week, and 85–90% within 6 to 12 weeks


Studies have shown that among Long term low back pain patients with employment, 60% had at least one day of sickness absence due to low back pain during a 3-month period


Which is more effective and which is cheaper, Having advice , chiropractic, physiotherapy or a combination of the two?


The most expensive option was Advice and least effective


Chiropractic was deemed cheaper than the physiotherapy


BUT


Chiropractic combined with physiotherapy was seens as most cost effective and had better outcomes for pain and function


Which makes sense , as the study made the physiotherapists work on stretching and postural advice , which is what we do at health wise chiropractic with our posture screen analyisis technology , so this is great news for our patients !
