Chiropractic care for chronic spinal pain and opioid reduction
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study is testing whether adding chiropractic care to regular medical care helps people with long-term back or neck pain reduce their use of opioid pain medications. If you are interested in lowering your opioid dose, this trial may offer a non-drug approach to pain management.
