A study published in the April 2011 issue of the Journal of Occupational and Enviromental Medicine suggests that when it comes to work-related low pain, the risk of disability and return of pain is lower for patients who were treated by chiropractors than those treated by a physical therapist or medical physician. The costs of treatment and payment for for disability beneifits were also lower.  These  finding also came on the heels of a recent  study in Spine that found  chronic low back pain patients who followed up with maintainence spinal manipulation after their initial injury reported continued significant improvment in their pain and disability.
