Chiropractic Can Prevent Absenteeism in the Workplace and Potentially Save the United States Economy and Insurers $217 Billion
O
ver 100 million Americans experience common chronic pain from back pain, neck pain, headaches/migraines, and arthritis—in addition to other painful conditions such as diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Chronic pain has a broad impact on emotional well-being and health-related quality of life, sleep quality, and social/recreational function. In addition to the pervasive personal suffering, pain has a substantial negative fi nancial impact on the economy. Offi ce visits, diagnostic testing, hospital care and pharmacy costs are only a portion of the picture, with combined medical and pharmacy costs averaging $5,000 annually per individual. We know that chiropractic is one of the safest treatments currently available in healthcare, and when there is a treatment where the potential for benefi ts both personally and nationally far outweigh any risk, it deserves serious consideration. The conclusions are not an indictment against medicine. It is a conclusion based upon science to put billions back into our economy while fi rst helping those in chronic pain with a “best outcome” solution.
A Potential Savings of $52 - $58 Billion from Absenteeism and Lowered Productivity to the United States Economy
A Potential Savings of $140 - $159 Billion in Unnecessary Health Care Expenditure to Federal and Private Insurers

Non-Natural Painkillers Double Depression Risk A
2015 study has found that larger opioid medication doses increase the incidence of depression in a Veterans Administration study of 355 pain patients. An opioid is a pharmaceutical compound, such as morphine, that produces an analgesic effect in the nervous system. The study, published in the Journal of the International Association for the Study of Pain, followed patients with low-back pain for two years. The patients were taking varying doses of opioid pain killers, rated by their morphine-equivalent dose. The researchers found that higher doses resulted in a doubling of depression incidences. According to Dr. James Duke, author of The Green Pharmacy, natural herbal alternatives to painkiller drugs that are free of the side effect include meadowsweet, ginger, willow bark, clove, lavender, eucalyptus, red pepper and rosemary.
