Chiropractic Will Have Its Day in Managed Care

A recent article in the publication Managed Healthcare1 may be an indication that the health service industries are waking up to chiropractic's potential in the very competitive managed care market. Catherine Sykes, president of the Dominion Consulting Group, made this comment in the article:

"Managed care organizations (MCOs) are looking for services that will let them compete effectively, services that are not only cost effective but also let them market effectively. Chiropractic is really coming into its day in the mainstream and in MCOs."

From Pain Scores to Performance Metrics
From Pain Scores to Performance Metrics

Pain has become the dominant language of musculoskeletal healthcare. Numeric pain-rating scales and symptom reports are routinely used as primary indicators of clinical success. But while pain reduction is meaningful, it is an incomplete and often misleading representation of recovery. This has real consequences for patient adherence, long-term outcomes, and how conservative care is perceived within the broader healthcare system.
