Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics Feb 24, 2019
Peng T, et al. - In a representative sample of US children and adolescents (aged 4 to 17 years), researchers assessed the prevalence of chiropractic use and sociodemographic features related to use. This study draws on data from 9,734 respondents to the 2012 National Health Interview Survey. In US children, the 12-month prevalence of chiropractic use was 3.0%. Although the overall prevalence of chiropractic care was low, sociodemographic characteristics of the child and adolescent users were identified. After adjusting for sociodemographic covariates, age, race/ethnicity, region of residence, family income, and utilization of other complementary and integrative health (also known as complementary and alternative medicine) services were related to chiropractic use.
