Behind closed doors across the country, many lawmakers, health leaders, community members and those whose have lost a loved one to opioid use are collectively sharing stories and trying to come up with solutions to save the next life in peril due to the grip of opioid drugs.

 The Opioid Crisis is front and center in world news, and is a USA pandemic affected millions of your neighbors, family, friends and maybe even you!  Where does it end? What can be done? One thing for sure is that it won’t get better on it’s own. Chiropractors and natural alternatives are best-positioned to attack this crisis head on. Using treatments such as spinal manipulation, chiropractic physicians take a drug-free approach to treating back pain, neck pain and other musculoskeletal disorders.
