Looking at Ontario-only results, 23.51 per cent feel they are competing with other health-care providers, while 23. 20 per cent say competition among chiro-practors is high while demand for chiro-practic care is low. Only 7.52 per cent say their practice is thriving and demand for chiropractic is high in their area. In comparison, Alberta chiroprac-tors seem optimistic about the chiro-practic market. Almost 21 per cent say demand is high for chiropractic care, and 31 per cent say they have an “es-tablished” practice and only have few new-patient spots in their clinic a week. Nearly a quarter (22.22 per cent) report their practice is gradually becoming known in their community and predict continued growth. Only less than five per cent say their prac-tice is struggling and have not seen any growth over the years. Sixteen per cent of Alberta practitioners say they are facing increased competition with other health-care providers (aside from chiropractors). B.C. is telling a similar story, with 33 per cent of chiropractors running established practices with very few new-patient spots. Twenty-one per cent are citing high demand for chiro-practic care in their area. Perceived competition with other health-care providers in B.C. is slightly higher than Alberta at 19.51 per cent. The chiropractic market in the Mari-time provinces reveal an even more op-timistic picture. More than 40 per cent are running established practices and are not looking for significant growth, while 20 per cent say they are continuously growing over the years. Although they do not generally feel there is intense compe-tition with other DCs in their area, chi-ropractors in these provinces feel in-creased competition with other health providers (22 per cent). Across Canada, most chiropractors (53 per cent) view physiotherapists as their top competitors among all health-care providers. One respondent provided a perspective: “I do not feel that we are directly competing with other providers, but I see more and more encroachment from physiother-apy into the chiropractic market, in general. For example, a Google search for chiropractors in our area now con-tains paid ads from physiotherapists.” Despite the perceived competition, however, chiropractors acknowledge getting patient referrals from medical doctors, physiotherapists and RMTs last year. Almost 40 per cent of the chiropractors surveyed say RMTs re-ferred between 11 and 30 patients to their chiropractic clinic in 2015. In the same year, 23 per cent of chiropractors surveyed say they received less than 10 referrals from medical doctors. Patient retention is generally high among chiropractors, with 72.63 per cent of respondents saying they gener-ally see more returning patients than new patients on any given day.

Dr. Andy Stella, DC, CMRP Minneapolis, MN I view it as prudent to have a Matrix assessment after a blow to the head...
