Ohio State Chiropractic Association Meets with Opioid Task Force

Organizations across the state are working to eradicate addiction

Healthcare professionals are under a mandate to turn off the spigot and stop the "over-prescription of drugs" that has helped fuel the opioid epidemic. For the first time ever, Ohio's Attorney General Mike DeWine invited the state chiropractic association to sit down with the Opioid Task Force to look for solutions or nonaddictive alternatives to deal with pain.

Dr. Patrick Ensminger tells 21 News there is no magic pill to deal with pain, but there are nonaddictive options such as chiropractic care to help relieve pain from sports injuries, accidents, and chronic or persistent conditions.

"We can effectively treat neck pain, back pain, headaches, conditions related to nerve pinch pain, pain traveling into your leg called sciatica, shoulder pain, tendonitis, varieties of nerve pinch pain going out into your arm, tingling, numbness," Ensminger said.
