The Opioid Epidemic

In reality, modern day opioid drugs are similar to slow release heroin. They are highly addictive, associated with major withdrawal symptoms, and they are killing more and more people every single year.

 Scientific research says opioids are not the answer for chronic pain

Chronic Pain

Chronic pain is pain that has been around for more than 3 months. As it turns out, Opioids provide minimal relief for long term pain like arthritis or chronic back pain. There is no good quality scientific evidence that shows they have good, long-term benefits for managing pain.

Managing Pain

Current guidelines promote avoiding drugs and surgery if you have pain, and instead one of your first line choices should be a manual therapist like a chiropractor.
