Conservative care and the opioid crisis



It is not something new for people in pain to seek pain relief. It is not a new thing for people to use medications to relieve acute or chronic pain. And, sometimes, that may include powerful drugs called opioids. Opioids have a place in medicine especially after surgery or a serious injury. But, the use of these drugs can actually change the way we perceive pain and can predispose a person to addiction!

Numerous studies have shown that conservative care ( including Chiropractic) can be much more effective in relieving pain, stimulating healing, lowering the use of opioids and preventing opioid abuse and addiction. Controlling inflammation, gentle motion, rest, counseling/therapy, meditation, acupuncture and, of course, the restoration of motion and nerve function with Chiropractic can greatly reduce opioid use.

Support the "Medicare Chiropractc Modernization Act"

“Giving Medicare beneficiaries more options for non-drug services to treat common musculoskeletal conditions such as back pain is critical in ongoing efforts to reduce opioid overuse,” noted ACA President Michael Martin, DC. “Chiropractic care is a part of the solution for many patients who seek to avoid or reduce their reliance on prescription pain medications.”

H.R. 1610/S. 799 would update the Medicare statute that has limited beneficiary access to chiropractic services for over 50 years. The legislation adds no new benefits; it simply allows Medicare beneficiaries access to the profession’s broad-based, non-drug approach to pain management and musculoskeletal health. This includes manual manipulation of the spine (the only chiropractic service now covered), as well as services such as manual manipulation of the extremities and numerous other non-drug treatments, evaluation and management services, and diagnostic imaging. The range of services available to beneficiaries would be determined by a chiropractor’s state licensure.

Chiropractic services and other nonpharmacologic approaches to pain management have become an important part of national efforts to reduce the overuse and abuse of prescription opioid pain medications. The opioid crisis has taken its toll among seniors and other Medicare beneficiaries as it has in communities nationwide.

Learn more at www.acatoday.org/medicare, including how you can reach out to Congress in support of this important legislation.

It is possible that there may be other attempts to restrict access to needed benefits, but I will certainly keep you apprised of anything that comes down the way. In the meantime, you can visit Association of New Jersey Chiropractors for more information.
