Association between chiropractic spinal manipulation for sciatica and opioid-related adverse events: A retrospective cohort study. by Robert J Trager, Zachary A Cupler, Roshini Srinivasan, Elleson G Harper, Jaime A Perez

“…<h4>Conclusions</h4>This study found that adults with sciatica who initially received CSM had a lower risk of an ORADE compared to matched controls not initially receiving CSM, likely explained by a lower probability of opioid prescription. These findings corroborate existing practice guidelines which recommend adding CSM to the management of sciatica when appropriately indicated.…”
