Few health treatments available today are as safe and reliable as chiropractic treatments. And few health professions have conducted as extensive and in-depth research as chiropractic.

To date, six global chiropractic reviews have been conducted by governments in the past 25 years (including Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Sweden), which generally agreed that modern chiropractic care is not only safe, effective and cost-effective, but also advocated funding for chiropractic services.

In addition to the comprehensive study conducted by the Government, the industry has also conducted a number of clinical studies (including randomized controlled trials) to analyze the suitability, effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of chiropractic treatment (mainly for back pain).

Meade, TW, Dyer, S., Browne, w., Townsend, J., Fran, AO (1990 &1995) Randomized Comparison of Chiropractic and Hospital Outpatient Management for Low Back Pain, British Medical Journal.

In 1990, a randomized controlled trial study by the British Medical Research Council was published, comparing the mechanical principles of chiropractic and hospital outpatient treatment for low back pain. The researchers pointed out that chiropractic treatment is more valuable and more effective than the methods used in hospital outpatient clinics. They also brought up the concept of including chiropractic in hospital departments and even the national health system. (BMJ, Vol 300, pp.1431-37)

A subsequent study was published in the British Medical Journal in 1995. In addition to publishing the entire study results, it also made the following conclusions: "The three-year study confirms the findings listed in the earlier report on the effectiveness of chiropractors and hospital therapists in treating low back pain over the years. Chiropractic treatment is more effective and more satisfactory than the methods used in hospital outpatient clinics." (BMJ, Vol 311, pp. 349-51)
