MAINE-CHIRO | Research |template Of these, 24 (13 from hospitals, and 11 from chiropractic clinics) were later found to be ineligible and 16 (eight, eight) withdrew from the study almost immediately so that 741 started treatment (384 receiving chiropractic and 357 hospital treatment). The smaller proportions of patients treated in hospital than by chiropractic who were satisfied with their treatment or relieved by it may well account for the somewhat greater loss to follow up in the hospital group. Part of the explanation could be that hospital treatment is effective in the short term but not the longer term, perhaps because it is not given for as long as chiropractic. www.mainechiro.com /meade.htm   (3904 words)

Chiropractic vs. hospital treatment for back pain Meade and colleagues from the Epidemiology and Medical Care Unit, Northwick Park Hospital, Harrow, Middlesex, concluded that for patients with low back pain, in whom manipulation is not contraindicated, chiropractic almost certainly confers worthwhile, long-term benefits in comparison with hospital outpatient management. Outcomes were based on changes in the Oswestry pain disability questionnaire scores and in the results of tests of straight-leg raising and lumbar flexion. When chiropractic or hospital therapists treated patients with low back pain as they would in day-to-day practice, those under chiropractic care derived more benefit and long-term satisfaction than those treated in hospitals (Meade et al., 1995). www.medcomres.com /articles/chiropractic_vs_hospital.htm   (1155 words)
