Chiropractic Top Choice for Natural Treatment of Pain

A survey conducted by Media General, a Richmond, Virginia firm, found that chiropractic is the top natural choice for treating pain. Of those consumers participating in the telephone survey, 60 percent said they would seek medical care if injured and suffering from back or neck pain; 23 percent said they would go to the chiropractor - more than the combined results for physical therapists (seven percent), massage therapists (four percent) and acupuncturists (one percent).

The survey also found while drug use was the most popular treatment for headaches, the number two choice was chiropractic.
