So whereas chronic musculoskeletal pain is a widespread widespread problem in the United States and around the world due to factors such as the aging population, an increase in obesity and sedentary lifestyles. And whereas worldwide, back pain is a single leading cause of disability and historically one of the most common reasons why people are prescribed opioid pain medications. Whereas the number of people worldwide living with back pain is projected to increase by thirty six percent to more than eight hundred million over the next thirty years, and whereas pain medications have for years been the go-to treatment for musculoskeletal conditions, however, research today shows that opioid pain medications are not a good strategy for managing chronic low back pain long term, and many people prefer better, safer options to manage the pain. And whereas clinical guidelines from leading healthcare organizations such as the CDC and the American College of Physicians now encourage patients with common musculoskeletal pain to try non-drug treatments first. And whereas research studies demonstrate that patients who receive chiropractic services first may be a may be able to significantly reduce or eliminate the reliance on prescription opioids. And whereas doctors of chiropractic are experts in musculoskeletal pain health and offer a variety of non-drug approaches to treat muscular musculoskeletal conditions such as back pain, neck pain, joint pain, and tension headaches, along with advice on nutrition, injury prevention, ergonomics, and lifestyle modification for optimal health and wellness. And whereas, with the theme get started with chiropractic, National Chiropractic Health Month, twenty twenty five reminds citizens of New Bromfels that chiropractors can help them maintain and improve their musculoskeletal health through their lifetime and may also help them to reduce their need for prescription pain medications for common musculoskeletal conditions.
