Oklahoma patients overwhelmingly declare that they are satisfied with their chiropractic care, according to a survey taken by the Oklahoma State Chiropractic Independent Physician Association (OSCIPA), a non-profit physician association with 175 chiropractors.

The survey was conducted among a random sample of 750 patients, selected from 36, 710 patients seen by OSCIPA members in 2004.

The study also found that word-of-mouth communication is a cost-effective way to build a chiropractic practice. Findings included:

  • 93% of respondents are very satisfied with chiropractic care they receive.
  • 93% say that the chiropractic care they receive is excellent
  • 91% say they would strongly recommend their chiropractor to others
  • Only 6.3% were referred to their chiropractor by a medical doctor
  • 59% were referred by a friend or family member
  • 10.3% found their chiropractor through an advertisement
