Chiropractic by the Numbers:

What the Research Really Says

Chiropractic Care is Highly Effective

Chiropractic care delivers results you can feel when it comes to relieving pain and restoring function — and the numbers prove it. Whether you're dealing with neck pain, back issues, or tension from daily stress, studies show chiropractic is one of the most effective, natural solutions.


  • 80% of chiropractic patients reported functional improvement, including better mobility, posture, and daily activity.¹⁰

  • A 2020 study found that chiropractic care improved chronic back pain more effectively than usual medical care after six weeks.¹¹

  • Chiropractic patients are significantly less likely to need advanced imaging, injections, or surgery when care is started early.¹²

Patients Trust Chiropractic

Chiropractic care isn’t just effective — it’s trusted. Millions of people across the country choose chiropractic every year because it offers personalized, natural care without the side effects of drugs or invasive procedures. The satisfaction rates speak for themselves.

  • 9 out of 10 patients say they are satisfied with their chiropractic care.⁴
  • More than 35 million Americans seek chiropractic each year — and that number keeps growing.⁵
  • 83% say it's effective for neck, back, or joint issues.⁶

Chiropractic Reduces Drug Use & Surgery

In a world where medication is often the first solution, chiropractic offers a different path — one that supports the body’s healing from the inside out. Research shows that chiropractic care can reduce the need for pain medications and even prevent unnecessary surgeries.

64%

Patients who see a chiropractor are 64% less likely to receive an opioid prescription.⁷

  • Chiropractic helps prevent unnecessary surgeries by addressing root causes early
  • Chiropractic focuses on natural pain relief, not just symptom management.
  • Chiropractic patients had a 55% lower likelihood of undergoing spinal surgery compared to those who first consulted a medical doctor.¹³
  • A 2022 study found that patients who received chiropractic care for low back pain were more likely to avoid opioid prescriptions and reported fewer pain-related healthcare visits over time.¹⁴

Chiropractic Helps More Than Just Back and Neck Pain
