In this episode, we dive deep into the critical discussion surrounding opioid use versus non-pharmacologic treatments, such as chiropractic care, for adults dealing with pain. Drawing on a landmark study that tracked trends from 2011 to 2019, he highlights both the encouraging rise in drug-free treatment options and persistent challenges, like the staggering percentage of people with chronic pain still receiving no professional care at all. Dr. Langmaid doesn’t shy away from addressing the opioid epidemic’s devastating impact, and he empowers chiropractors to lead the charge in offering safe, evidence-based alternatives.
