January 2025 Healthy News from Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre Growth of Chiropractic Benefit and Satisfaction for All
CHIROPRACTIC CARE GROWS IN SATISFACTION…AND DEMAND!
Chiropractic care is growing rapidly in both public and Veterans Affairs (VA) facilities, thanks to increasing patient demand and high satisfaction rates. A 2024 review of patient experiences by Newell et al in J Patient Exp featured how much people appreciate chiropractic care, with many reporting 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 evolving as 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) shows that more veterans are turning to chiropractic care for effective, non-invasive solutions to contain chronic pain and musculoskeletal issues. (2) This reveals a larger shift in healthcare, as patients and providers alike see chiropractic care as a proven, integrative approach to handling common problems like back and neck pain. Both patients and public health leaders are seeing the important role chiropractic care plays in growing access to safe, effective pain management. This growth not only reflects a positive change in how chiropractic care is seen but also opens up opportunities to integrate it more into healthcare systems, helping a wide range of patients. Great news! Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre is ready to welcome patients to the practice!
Toronto CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH:
