Does seeing a chiropractor for neck pain work?
A prospective, multicenter, cohort study, published in 2007, sought to analyze the overall safety of chiropractic care for neck pain and to weigh the benefits against the risks. Over 500 patients participated in the study. Nearly half of the participants who returned for a fourth visit reported that they felt “completely improved.” Most of the other participants reported recovery at either the three-month or the 12-month follow-up.
