The most popular pain drug in the US, acetaminophen (Tylenol) does not help with back disorders. This was the finding of a recent study in the British Medical Journal which looked at 13 previous randomized studies on this drug for treating back, knee, and hip disorders. Acetaminophen accounts for 100,000 hospital visits a year and is the number one cause of acute liver failure.
So does it make scientific sense that a medical provider would prescribe acetaminophen instead of referring for chiropractic care?
