AB  - OBJECTIVE: To determine if U.S. female veterans had demonstrable improvements in 
      neck pain after chiropractic management at a Veterans Affairs (VA) hospital. 
      METHODS: This was a retrospective cross-sectional study of medical records from 
      female veterans attending a VA chiropractic clinic for neck pain from 2009 to 
      2015. Paired t-tests were used to compare baseline and discharge numeric rating 
      scale (NRS) and Neck Bournemouth Questionnaire (NBQ) scores with a minimum 
      clinically important difference (MCID) set at a 30% change from baseline. 
      RESULTS: Thirty-four veterans met the inclusion criteria and received a mean of 
      8.8 chiropractic treatments. For NRS, the mean score improvement was 2.7 (95%CI, 
      1.9-3.5, p < .001). For the NBQ, the mean score improvement was 13.7 (95%CI, 
      9.9-17.5, p < .001). For the MCID, the average percent improvement was 45% for 
      the NRS and 38% for the NBQ. CONCLUSION: Female veterans with neck pain 
      experienced a statistically and clinically significant reduction in NRS and NBQ 
      scores.
