This article mentions the new VA chiropractic study that I just wrote about last week.
"VA doctors wrote more than 6.5 million prescriptions in 2012 for hydrocodone, oxycodone, methadone and morphine — more than the total number of patients they saw and a 270 percent increase from 2001. As a result of the numbers, the Minneapolis VA launched the Opioid Safety Initiative in 2012. Since the beginning of the program, the Minneapolis VA says it has been able to decrease risky high-dosage opioid use among patients by 67 percent. The Minneapolis VA, will be collaborating on a study of how chiropractic care might best be used for vets who have a combination of musculoskeletal pain and mental health conditions."
Do you think this new program will be beneficial?
