Chiropractors Present Themselves As An Alternative To Painkillers

A recent Forbes article reports that there were 18,893 deaths involving prescription opioids (narcotics) in the country in 2014, up 16% from 2013. This is more deaths than caused by all the illegal drugs combined! 
Americans consume over 90% of most narcotic medications in the world and we only about 5% of the world's population. 
The article goes on to state "While efforts are being made to curb opioid prescriptions and develop less addictive drugs, the public needs to be reminded that there are drug-free approaches such as chiropractic that, if tried first, may alleviate their pain and lessen or even eliminate the need for over-the-counter and prescription pain medications."
Does that sound reasonable to you?
