Excerpt: If the hypothesis that the professional class is the last to recover from a recession is true, then these survey results show that the chiropractic industry is on track for future growth. Key indicators are firming and economic prospects are improving. 

About this survey. Throughout August 2017, Chiropractic Economics extended an invitation to readers to complete a web-based survey on fees and reimbursements. Additonally, we encouraged a number of state, national, and alumni associations to distribute the survey to their members. 

We limited survey participants to practicing chiropractors (or their designated office managers or CAs) to ensure accuracy. 

Number of participants. This year's analysis is based on responses from 275 respondents.

Regional distribution. Participants hailed from the South (37 percent), the West (19 percent), the East (19 percent), and the Midwest (25 percent). The following states were not represented in this year's survey: Alaska, Delaware, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wyoming. 

Averages. Unless indicated otherwise, all numbers are given as averages.

Cash-only practices. Cash-only practices reported fees only.

The survey results are provided for informational purposes only. They are not intended to be used as a recommendation for setting fee levels.

Note: Where possible in this story, numbers have been rounded to the closest whole number for clarity.
