Most Chiropractic Clinic Offers Chiropractic Care Which May Reduce the Need of Opioids
Opioid epidemic. It’s been in the news. An efficient way to not have to rely on opioids is to not have to start with them. The public and the medical community are (coming) together about this topic. Recent research describes the benefit chiropractic care has in reducing the prescribing, need, and use of opioids. Most Chiropractic Clinic is glad to satisfy the additional role of pain management for Murfreesboro back pain sufferers!
CHIROPRACTIC BACK PAIN PATIENTS AND THEIR USE OF OPIOIDS
Most Chiropractic Clinic knows the frequent opioid use in low back pain management. Researchers do, too. They analyzed low back pain patients treated by chiropractors to see if said chiropractic patients were less prone to use or more likely to use lower doses of opioids for their pain. Such an effect could lead to a reduced risk of adverse effects. They found that chiropractic patients versus non-chiropractic patients were 55% less likely to fill an opioid prescription, a considerably lower number. (1) There are many Murfreesboro chiropractic patients who would like to not fill their opioid prescriptions. Most Chiropractic Clinic is here to help them manage their back pain with the addition of Murfreesboro chiropractic care.
CHIROPRACTIC CARE IN A MEDICAL SETTING: THE POSITIVE IMPACT
Most Chiropractic Clinic often works with medical colleagues to help our Murfreesboro back pain patients manage their pain. Research supports such an endeavor! The study of a family medicine practice that integrated chiropractic services reported fluctuations in opioid prescription rates. The monthly rate of opioid prescription writing dropped significantly by 22%. The rate of prescription writing for schedule II opioids dropped significantly by 32% too. The likelihood of writing a schedule II opioid prescription dropped by 27%, too, when chiropractic services were added. Medical providers prescribed daily doses of opioids that were 30% less than before chiropractic was added. Adding chiropractic decreased the dosage of opioids, the number of opioid prescriptions, and the kinds of opioids prescribed. The authors proposed that adding chiropractic was positive in opioid prescribing and implementation of a non-pharmaceutical option for pain management.
