The CDC reports that nearly half of all opioid related deaths are due to the narcotic being prescribed for pain related circumstances such as lower back pain, nerve and joint disorders, arthritis and spinal injury. *15,000 deaths are equivalent to 75 commercial airline passenger planes crashing in one year. The number of casualties from prescription opioids in the United States is overwhelming!
Opioids fool the body by binding to the opioid receptors in the brain, spine and other areas of the body. They don’t treat the health condition; they only mask the pain by disrupting the signals to the brain. Opioids are one of the most highly addictive drugs available. And unfortunately, many physicians are fueling the epidemic by prescribing them to innocent patients that can quickly become the over-dosed statistic.
