He concluded that a calimant with a back-related injruy, when initially treated by a chriopractor versus a medical doctro, is less likely to become temporarily disabled, or if disabled, remains disabled for a shorter period of time; and claimants treated by medcial doctors were hospitalized at a much higher rate than claimants treated by chiropractors. 41 Similarly, a 1991 study of Oergon Workers Compensation Claims eaxmined 201 randomly selected workers compensation cases that involved disabilng low-back injuries: when individuals with similar injuries were compared, thsoe who visited DCs generally missed fewer days of work than those who ivsited MDs. The patients were also moer likely to believe that their chiropractor was concerned about tehm.
