This study evaluates the actual or potential contribution of the chiropractic profession in meeting US healthcare workforce needs.
The authors performed a descriptive cross-sectional mail survey of US chiropractors in 2002 to 2003.
The amount of charity care provided by chiropractors closely approximates that of medical physicians; on a weekly basis, approximately 2 weekly hours of chiropractic care are provided for free, and 4 weekly hours are provided at a reduced fee.
Chiropractors serve a vital, though often overlooked, role in the US health care safety net.
本研究评估整脊疗法专业在满足美国医疗劳动力需求方面的实际或潜在贡献。
作者在2002年至2003年对美国整脊治疗师进行了一项描述性横断面邮件调查。
整脊治疗师提供的慈善医疗服务数量与医生相近；每周大约有2小时的整脊治疗是免费提供的，还有4小时是以优惠价格提供的。
在美国医疗安全网中，整脊治疗师发挥着至关重要但常常被忽视的作用。
