In this week's episode, we dive deep into a groundbreaking study that shows how chiropractic care can significantly reduce tramadol prescriptions in adults with radicular low back pain. We explored how tramadol, an atypical synthetic opioid, is often prescribed and the implications of that, contrasting it with the benefits and effectiveness of chiropractic spinal manipulation. This research highlights the dire need for guideline-concordant care pathways and how chiropractors play a crucial role in providing safer, more effective alternatives to opioids.
