Wow, I just posted a new study showing that 46% of adolescents were prescribed narcotic drugs for headaches and now a new study shows that 26% of pregnant women on Medicaid were prescribed narcotic drugs during pregnancy. Again the lead author of this study was surprised by the findings. Unfortunately neither this article or the journal article mentioned chiropractic treatment as a much safer alternative.
