Here is another study showing lower disability rates for patients with work injuries treated by chiros as compared to medical physicians and to PT’s! It was funded by Liberty Mutual Ins Co. and published in the April, 2011 "Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine". It was controlled for demographics and severity of cases.
It shows that a worker is twice as likely to become disabled after treatment by a PT and 60% more likely to become disabled after treatment to a medical physician compared to treatment by a DC!
Please remember that Illinois doctors of chiropractic are physicians and are fully covered by the IL worker's compensation system, even if your employer, WC insurance company or attorney might tell you otherwise.
You may be saving yourself from future disability. I have treated many patients over the years who were disabled by WC and other injuries, and it is always sad to see the effects on their lives.
