The Challenge
Overview
F4CP’s mission is to educate the public about the benefits of chiropractic care. In January 2018, F4CP partnered with Amendola to enhance the credibility of chiropractors through a robust content marketing program to generate a steady stream of news and well-researched thought leadership content, ranging from press releases to e-books, bylined articles and white papers to infographics. F4CP is now in its 6th year of partnering with Amendola.
Insight
Several studies on the cost of care for patients with lower back and neck pain support what doctors of chiropractic (DC) have long known: chiropractic care is among the most cost-effective treatment for those common conditions. F4CP needed to communicate this message to employers, providers, payers and patients so more of them would turn first to chiropractic care vs. addictive opioids or surgery.
