What is Tramadol?

This is a SYNTHETIC opioid and has a lower potency when compared to Morphine

Tramadol works by stimulating opioid receptions and inhibits norepinephrine and serotonin re-uptake

Tramadol is a SHORT acting and a half-life of 6 hours.

Tramadol has fewer and fewer adverse events like constipation, pruritis and neuropsychological symptoms

With the risk , like other opioids , of becoming long-term users, researchers wanted to see if seeing a Chiropractor may help people become less addicted to opioids for low back pain relief

Chiropractic is effective in treating lower back pain and numerous government guides recommend Chiropractic as a first-choice option for the treatment of lower back pain

The results of the latest research showed that adults who INITIALLY received chiropractic care had a REDUCED likelihood of receiving a Tramadol prescription 1 year after starting care .
