Several hypotheses concerning the use of chiropractic services were examined using data on health attitudes and health care utilization collected in central Wisconsin. The analyses indicate that the major differences between users and non-users of chiropractic services are that users are older, report more chronic health problems, have used physicians relatively frequently, but report difficulty in getting doctors' appointments.
