Chronic diseases and conditions have a strong impact upon public health. This session will present topics covering headache, chronic low back pain, and smoking. Also discussed will be claim rates amongst workers at temporary employment agencies. We will end the session with a discussion of the most common provider-based CAM therapies used in the US and the similarities and differences amongst motivation, recommendation, and information sources for these therapies.
Session Objectives: Compare management costs for headache by patterns of care involving chiropractors, medical doctors, and physical therapists. Discuss the effect of dose response across multiple domains in a dose-response trial of spinal manipulation for the care of chronic low back pain. List initiatives and programs available to help veterans with smoking cessation. Compare claim rates, total cost of decision, days of work missed, and percent disability in employees of temporary agencies. Identify the most common provider-based CAM therapies used in the US.
