"Americans make more visits to nonconventional healers (some 600 million a year) than we do to M.D.s and spend more money out-of-pocket to do so about $30 billion a year by recent estimates." "A recent study performed by the American Massage Therapy Association revealed that more than one-quarter (28 percent) of consumers received a massage from a massage therapist in the past five years, up from just 17 percent in 1997. Eighteen percent said they had a massage in the past 12 months. Thats 10 percentage points higher than was reported in 1997." "The percentage of seniors who received massage within the last five years has nearly tripled (21 percent compared to 8 percent in 1997). Seniors indicated they seek massage for health reasons other than relaxation and stress relief more than any other age group (41 percent)." "Complementary and Alternative Medical therapies were ordered or provided at 31.6 million physician office visits, representing 3.8 percent of all visits."
