  2. Did You Know Physiotherapy Could Provide You With the Relief You Need? A recent study published in Health Services Research found that people who saw a physiotherapist prior to other treatments were 89% in less need of an opioid prescription. Opioids – what are they and why are they dangerous? Opioids are strong pain killing drugs that are often prescribed to combat severe chronic pain. They are traditionally derived from substances in the poppy plant. Are you experiencing these symptoms? When one is physically dependent on opioids, they typically have withdrawal symptoms like sweating and cravings. Other signs include drowsiness, weight loss, change in sleep habits, flu-like symptoms, changes in exercise habits, and isolation. How can physiotherapy decrease the need for opioid use? According to a study published in JAMA, most people see a physiotherapist for musculoskeletal conditions that result in back, neck, knee and shoulder pain. www.rosedalewellness.com
