he safest non-invasive therapies available for the treatment of back pain, neck pain, headaches and other neuromusculoskeletal complaints. In addition, a significant amount of evidence shows that the use of chiropractic care for certain conditions can be more effective and less costly than traditional medical care. Recent research includes:

Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics (JMPT) found that

chiropractic and medical care have comparable costs for treating

chronic low-back pain, with chiropractic care producing significantly

better outcomes.

- A March 2004 study in JMPT found that chiropractic care is more

effective than medical care at treating chronic low-back pain in

patients' first year of symptoms.

- A study published in a 2003 edition of the medical journal Spine

found that manual manipulation provides better short-term relief of

chronic spinal pain than does a variety of medications.
