Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a prospective comparative cohort trial taking place during the first year of the Coronavirus-19 (COVID-19) pandemic in Spain. Chiropractic patients throughout Spain were invited to participate independently of the care received, including patients who had stopped visiting their chiropractors since the pandemic hit. The main exposure variable is the access to chiropractic care services, and the degree of this exposure during the months following initial lockdown phase in Spain. Participants will fill an online questionnaire with self-reported outcome-measures.
