Clinical & Health Services Research, Southern California University of Health Sciences, Whittier, California.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the risk of selected adverse outcomes for older adults with a new episode of neck pain (NP) receiving chiropractic care compared to those receiving primary medical care with Prescription Drug Therapy (PDT) or primary care without medication.
Methods: Through analysis of Medicare claims data, we designed a retrospective cohort study including 291 604 patients with a new office visit for NP in 2019. We developed 3 mutually exclusive exposure groups: the Chiropractic Manipulative Therapy (CMT) group received spinal manipulative therapy from a chiropractor with no primary care visits; the PDT group visited primary care and filled an analgesic prescription within 7 days without chiropractic care, and the Primary Care Only (PCO) group visited primary care without chiropractic care or analgesic prescriptions.
