Chiropractic decreases the need for pain medications!
Based on results from the USA
Approximately 50 million adults reported having chronic pain
20 million say their chronic pain significantly interferes with their daily activities
(Chronic pain is described as pain that has persisted for more than 12 weeks)
Rates of opioid use in 2015 where 3 times higher than they where in 1999
We have discussed in previous posts that since 1990, muscle pain has increased by 30%, due to our changes in demands at work
With opioids causing more than 47000 deaths in the 2018 alone, it’s great this research in 2022 came out showing that Chiropractic patients had a decrease need in opioid medications
With 80% of adults having at least 1 low back pain episode in their lifetime, nearly half of patients receive opioid prescriptions despite the lack of compelling evidence
80% of these opioid users take their pain medication LONG TERM,
The 2022 study found that Chiropractic patients had lower percentage of persons using any opioid use and less likely to have long term opioid use over a 12 month tracking program
