Impact of Chiropractic Care on Use of Prescription Opioids in Patients with Spinal Pain

Read the abstract here

Patients with spinal pain who saw a chiropractor had half the risk of filling an opioid prescription. Among those who saw a chiropractor within 30 days of diagnosis, the reduction in risk was greater as compared with those with their first visit after the acute phase. Congratulations Jim Whedon and Jay Greenstein and Clinical Compass.
