Abstract in brief

  • The study found that workers who first visited a chiropractor for back pain had shorter durations of financial compensation, while those who saw a physiotherapist had longer compensation periods during the initial months.
  • Workers who initially consulted a physiotherapist also had a higher likelihood of experiencing a second episode of compensation within two years, compared to those who first saw a physician.
  • The findings suggest that the type of healthcare provider initially chosen for back pain can influence the length of work disability and the chances of recurrent compensation, raising questions about the role of physiotherapists as gatekeepers in the workers' compensation system.]

This study from 2005 of 5500 patients suggests the profession of the clinician first seen with spinal pain is significant for duration of disability (as measured by sick pay). #FCP @royalcolchiro @ChiropracticUK Thanks @LanloOlivier #AHPsintoAction https://t.co/XE5PJP6isr

Chiropractic patients experience the shortest duration of compensation, and physiotherapy patients experience the longest. These differences raise concerns regarding the use of physiotherapists as gatekeepers for the worker’s compensation system. https://t.co/srLwBi8BUU
