The Impact of Chiropractic Research Due to the impact of scientific research, the chiropractic profession has seen advances once deemed impossible. The Agency for Health Care Policy and Research (AHCPR) guideline for Acute Low Back Problems in Adults recommended spinal manipulation for low-back pain; federal grants for chiropractic research are a reality; the Department of Defense formed a committee to introduce chiropractic services into the U.S. military; political victories are being won on the federal, state, and local levels; some managed care organizations are beginning to recognize chiropractors as gatekeepers, and there is an ever-growing public awareness of the benefits of chiropractic care. Without the high caliber of research endorsed and nurtured by FCER, none of these triumphs would have occurred. FCER has provided chiropractic advocates with the research-based ammunition that has brought about positive change. Without the high caliber cost-effectiveness, efficacy, and patient satisfaction studies funded by FCER, the ongoing battle to secure chiropractic’s rightful place in the health care system would be doomed to failure. FCER’s dedication to excellence in research has earned the ongoing financial support of the American Chiropractic Association (ACA), NCMIC Group, many state chiropractic organizations, companies who deal in chiropractic products and supplies, and thousands of Doctors of Chiropractic worldwide.
