We want to take this time to personally thank everyone who took the time to vote for us; it honestly means so much. And we also want to let you know that we have never, and will never, take this title lightly!

medscape.com Patients who visit a chiropractor for low-back and neck pain are less likely to receive prescription opioids than their counterparts who go to other healthcare providers, new research suggests.
03/20/2019
Lower back pain is one of the most costly and prevalent health conditions affecting our population today, resulting in nearly $50 billion in annual medical expenses and countless visits to the doctor's office. Despite it's prevalence, many of the traditional approaches for treating lower back issues are flawed, usually overlooking the underlying structural issues and also potentially exposing patients to dangerous or addictive pain medications.
Join Dr. Travis McKay as he discusses the anatomy and physiology of lower back pain, the problems with popular treatment approaches, and how to naturally and effectively reduce your pain, improve your mobility, and bulletproof your low back! If you, or someone you know, suffers from sciatica, arthritis, disc pain, or any other low back problem, please join us at the Newark Senior Center on March 26th at 1PM!
Even if you're currently a patient, please feel free to attend this workshop as a supplement to your care!

Here's our chiropractic quiz for the week:
Which of these spines is in normal alignment?
Make your best guess below, hopefully without looking it up on Google first, and we'll be picking a winner to get a free massage!
Did you know that changes in our spinal positioning away from ideal alignment can contribute to muscle tension, stiffness, neck pain, low back pain, pinched nerves and even herniated discs? Do you know whether or not your spine is in proper alignment?
If you're dealing with any back pain, neck pain, or headaches, call us at 302-368-1300 or visit our website at www.advancedback.com to set up a consultation and determine whether or not the health of your spine needs to be improved!

Part of addressing the state's opioid epidemic is having prescribers and patients be more aware of alternatives to prescription opioids, and removing barriers to patients getting those non-opioid treatments. Some patients need opioids, but some don't, and it is important that they have all the information and the ability to make choices. I sat down with Comcast Newsmakers Jill Horner last week to talk about some important work that needs to be done in this area -- including a change in the state's rules about how early prescribers need to talk to their patients about the risks and alternatives associated with opioids. Today in Delaware, a patient can receive prescription opioids for seven days before having an 'informed consent' conversation with his or her health care provider about risks and alternatives. State Senator Stephanie Hansen has been championing this issue, but has met a lot of resistance.

There has not been a lot of concrete good news in the fight against the opioid crisis, so I wanted to share some that we received a few days ago. It has been well documented that the dramatic spike in opioid overdose deaths is directly correlated to a dramatic spike in opioid prescriptions. And Delaware had among the highest opioid prescription rates in the nation. In 2015, the state's Division of Public health and my office proposed a series of reforms to the state's opioid prescription regulations to try to responsibly reduce opioid prescriptions -- to ensure that prescribers were more careful in recommending them, and that there was more follow-up and monitoring of people who received extended length prescriptions. Secretary of State Jeff Bullock not only accepted our recommendations, he improved them. And now we are starting to see some results, as this article indicates. We have a long, long way to go -- the state has still not invested in drug treatment as it should, and there is more work coming on the prescription front as well to get those numbers down even further. But this is a good sign that when we do the right thing, we can see results and save lives.
