Over-the-counter painkillers treated painful injuries just as well as opioids in new study

This new study from JAMA surprised even me. I have known that opioid (narcotic) drugs are little to no better than anti-inflammatories for chronic conditions, but this study done on acute conditions presenting to a hospital emergency department also shows opioids no better than NSAID and acetomeniphen (Tylenol) combo. More reason to try non drug treatments including chiropractic care.
Does this surprise you also?
