One in two adults in America suffers from MSK disorders and pains, and the patients are predominantly prescribed pain medication (in many cases opioids) treatment by providers. However, with recent studies, specialists have concluded that non-opioid treatment can be very effective in relieving pains and improving the quality of life.

Dr. Erin Krebs, a physician and a researcher at the Minneapolis VA Health Care System, researches the effectiveness of the prescribed treatments to patients with arthritis and back pains. Her conclusions point that medications do not give better results than home exercises and rehabilitation therapies for chronic pains.

Many digital healthcare platforms such as BlueJay Mobile Health advocate the benefits of physical movements and rehabilitation therapies in dealing with body pain and MSK issues. BlueJay enables healthcare providers to ensure pain-free life for their patients and reduce readmissions.
