Pain Pills Don't Go Away After Back Surgery

New study from the Pain Journal showed with spinal fusion back surgery, 77% of patients continued to use opioids (narcotic) drugs long term post surgery.

That's why nondrug, nonsurgical options – such as chiropractic care – for back pain are landing front and center in the health care conversation.
