Pharmacological Treatment of Low Back Pain Increased Overdose-Related Hospitalizations by 300% Compared to Chiropractic (Non-Pharmacological Treatment) circa 2025
By Mark Studin.
Abstract
Chiropractic care addresses the mechanical nature of low back pain directly and effectively. Research shows that it independently reduces drug-related overdose hospitalizations by 300%, further supporting its role as a superior first-line treatment. This growing body of evidence makes a compelling case for rethinking our standard care pathways and placing chiropractic at the forefront of conservative, non-drug interventions for low back pain.
