In todays consumer driven health care environment, patient satisfaction is an important health outcome measure.
There have been several surveys conducted in recent years assessing patient satisfaction with chiropractic care, which was found to be extremely high. In addition, these surveys invariably found that the level of satisfaction was significantly higher for care received from chiropractors in comparison to the medical profession.
Surveys have also indicated that chiropractic patients are willing to return for chiropractic treatment for a similar condition and would recommend chiropractic treatment to friends, family and colleagues.
As we all know, chiropractic uses a preventative and holistic approach as opposed to a diagnostic approach when dealing with general healthcare issues. Which on the surface, can save our health care systems trillions of dollars. However, many traditionalists have not and will never visit a chiropractor in their lifetime.
Most if not all medical insurance covers chiropractic these days.....for the full 100%. And chiropractic offices are becoming exceedingly accessable.....in our malls, in our neighborhoods, and within our work complexes. Many sports teams have a chiropractor on staff.....and professionals in the entertainment field travel with one when they film on location.
Do you think the saturation point and acceptance level has reached it's critical mass yet? Or does this field still have a long ways to go in order to gain respectability? After all, we are seeing Acupuncturists, Masseuses, Holistic healers, and many other alternative forms of medicine gain acceptance in popularity and public perception. As well as the increase in sales of medicinal herbs for the same purpose.
And is alternative medicine more readily accepted in North America as opposed to Europe.....where the populice is more homogoneous as compared to our diverse nature over here?
