In many cases, it can even eliminate the need for harmful pain management drugs (such as opioids) or invasive surgical correction. In a study published by the Journal of the American Medical Association, this is proven further. Titled “Association of Early Physical Therapy With Long-Term Opioid Use Among Opioid-Naïve Patients
With Musculoskeletal Pain,” this study looks at the effects of physical therapy and the likelihood of long-term opioid use in patients participating in physical therapy treatments. This cross-sectional analysis researched 88,985 patients, all of whom were suffering from shoulder, neck, knee, or low back pain. Results found that the patients who participated in early physical therapy treatments demonstrated an approximately 10% statistically s ign i f i cant reduc t ion i n subsequent opioid use. The conclusion of this study stated, “By serving as an alternative or adjunct to short- term opioid use for patients with musculoskeletal pain, early physical therapy may play a role in reducing the risk of long-term opioid use.”
