New Study Links Chiropractic Care to Lower Risk of Opioid Use Disorder

A new study published in Health Science Reports provides strong evidence that starting care with a chiropractor may help protect patients from opioid use. Researchers analyzed electronic health records from nearly 50,000 adults with new episodes of low back pain, comparing those who received spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) to those who were treated with ibuprofen.

The findings were striking: patients who began care with SMT were about 80% less likely to develop an opioid use disorder within two years. They were also less likely to receive any opioid prescription or become long-term users.

The authors concluded that spinal manipulative therapy — often delivered by doctors of chiropractic — should continue to be emphasized as a first-line, non-drug treatment for low back pain, consistent with national clinical guidelines.
