Joint Commission to add chiropractic treatment to its pain management standard

An independent, not-for-profit organization, The Joint Commission accredits and certifies more than 20,500 health care organizations and programs in the United States including many of the nation's 
hospitals. The Joint Commission has updated its pain management standard to include chiropractic services, acupuncture, massage therapy and other nonpharmacologic strategies. The standard will be effective Jan. 1, 2015.
Do you think this is a good change for our healthcare system?
