CDC Recommends Laser Therapy for Pain Management

Chiropractors are uniquely positioned to be the primary providers of choice to combat the opioid epidemic in the United States. The CDC produced a 200+ page document titled "CDC Clinical Practice Guideline for Prescribing Opioids for Pain - United States 2022," which advises opioid-prescribing physicians to discuss alternative therapies for the treatment of pain with their patients. Laser therapy is one of the alternative therapies for the treatment of pain with their patients. Laser therapy is one of the alternative therapies recommended for pain management in acute, chronic, and postoperative patient groups.
