Jeff Langmaid breaks down a new study comparing chiropractic adjustments to gabapentin for radicular low back pain. Low back and neck pain drive more medical spending than almost any other condition in the US, making this research relevant to how millions get treated.
This week, we are back with more research. A brand new study that will be talked about for years to come. It is all about chiropractic adjustments and gabapentin use in adults with low back pain. We are going to highlight the take home messages that you need to be aware of. And also, again, what I believe are the important points that will be discussed for years to come based on this study. And it is a great good one. The official title is association between Chiropractic Spinal Manipulation and Gabapentin Prescription in Adults with Radicular Low Back Pain, A retrospective cohort study utilizing US Data. Why is this such a big deal? Well, it is a big deal because low back and neck pain account for the leading cause of medical expenditure in the United States. Yes, you heard that correctly.
