Why Chiropractic Research Matters
With just over 9,000 practitioners in all of Canada, the Chiropractic profession is small. That’s why it’s critical to invest in research so we can learn more, validate treatment options, demonstrate evidence with the power to shift public policy and stand united as a profession.
- Learn: Increased knowledge about spine, muscle and nervous system conditions, chronic pain and physiology informs clinical decisions and helps chiropractors choose the most effective treatment for each patient.
- Demonstrate: Strong evidence provides policy makers with clear and compelling information to support health system decision-making.
- Validate: Scientifically sound findings refute misinformation while focusing greater attention on improved therapeutic pathways.
- Unite: High quality studies enable chiropractors to stand together as credible, responsible and valued partners in the patient-centred care arena
