Doctor-prescribed opioids are appropriate in some cases, but they just mask the pain—and reliance on opioids has led to the worst drug crisis in American history. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the American College of Physicians, and the National Academies of Sciences,Engineering,andMedicinehave issuedguidelinesandreportsurginghealthcareproviders topursuesafenondrug alternatives, including physical therapy, for most non–cancer-related pain treatment. Physical therapists (PTs) treat pain through movement, hands-on care, and patient education—and by increasing physical activity you can also reduce your risk of other chronic diseases.
