Patient and provider characteristics associated with therapeutic intervention selection in a chiropractic clinical encounter: a cross-sectional analysis of the COAST and O-COAST study data - Chiroprac

Flexion distraction, chiropractic systems, acupuncture, and supportive devices were all used in less than 5% of diagnostic encounters. *BMI reference category is normal weight Full size imageDifferent provider variables were also associated with therapeutic intervention selection.
