Chiropractic and Cost Efficiency
The Journal of Manual and Physiologic Therapeutics (JMPT) has published a study showing that the medical costs for the treatment of back pain, when the initial contact for the complaint was a chiropractor, was 40% lower thatn the costs for standard medical care for the same diagnosis. The study examined over 85,000 individuals with back pain over a 2 year period that were insured by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Tennessee. This study joins a growing body of evidence supporting the cost effectiveness of chiropractic care in an era of runaway health care costs. It also represents the treatment effectiveness of chiropractic technique, which often allows a patient to avoid prescription drugs and surgery.

Vojta Program
In March 2017, Dr. Cohen presents a lecture program in Philadelphia for chiropractors, physical therapists, and athletic trainers on Reflex Locomotion according to Vojta. Dr. Cohen’s program helped practitioners understand the unique muscular function that occurs during the development of movement and how to utilize this muscular function in the rehabilitation of their patients.The program demonstrated exercises that enhance the flexibility of the spine and extremity joints. These exercises also teach effective co-ordination of the core muscles, promote muscular balance, and restore ideal movement patterns. The Vojta technique is effective for the treatment of patients with orthopedic conditions, chronic pain, or severe neurological deficits.
