Description

Additionally, there are 31 other conditions that both sample adults and sample children could report treating with chiropractor. For the full list of conditions, see COMTREAT.
Chiropractor is one of 16 modalities of alternative medicine that were included in the 2002 and 2007 Alternative Health Supplement. Respondents could report treating recurring pain by 14 of those methods. (The omitted alternative treatments are hypnosis and movement techniques, which were included as treatments for specific health problems in the 2007 survey only. See HYPYR and MOVALEXYR for more information.) Analysts interested in the treatment of recurring pain by other alternative therapies should see COMYR for the full list of alternative medicine treatments and a summary of other chiropractor-related questions, as well as definitions.
Comparability
This variable is only available for 2002, when respondents were asked about their use of "chiropractic care" to treat health conditions. Treatment of many other specific conditions was covered in the 2007 Alternative Health Supplement. However, in 2007 persons were asked to report the use of "chiropractic or osteopathic manipulation" to treat particular conditions, and the data do not distinguish between the two. Researchers should therefore exercise caution when conducting analyses that include chiropractic condition variables from both 2002 and 2007
