Chiropractor

An alternative healthcare practitioner with a Doctor of Chiropractic (D.C.) degree from a 4-year chiropractic college. DC's perform joint and spinal manipulation, based on the vitalistic belief that mechanical adjustments improve health by correcting nerve interference and, thereby, allowing the body’s innate healing intelligence to take over. Despite the name, chiropractic doctors are not medical doctors or physicians.

Systematic reviews of controlled clinical studies have found no evidence that chiropractic manipulation is effective for the treatment of disease, with the possible exception of treatment for back pain.

I thought the YouTube doctor’s advice was kind of fishy, so I checked the bio for his license: D.C… He’s a Chiropractor!

buprenorphine

An atypical opioid, commonly used to treat opioid-use disorders. Buprenorphine can reduce or relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms and cravings, while having a notably less euphoria and a higher safety profile than other opioids.

Buprenorphine is most commonly prescribed as a combination drug with naloxone, to discourage intravenous use (brand name Suboxone) and is sometimes used to treat chronic pain.

"I haven’t been using heroin since my doctor put me on buprenorphine"

"What's that?"

"You know Suboxone, the withdrawal drug. Doesn’t get me high, but it helps the withdrawal and cravings"
