Fulcrum Health Mobilizes for Opioid Alternative Treatment
Fulcrum Health, Inc. Launches Mobile Clinic for Pain Management
Grant funds will be utilized to initiate a mobile clinic offering patient care and educational resources to alleviate chronic musculoskeletal pain and minimize the dependence on opioids.
Fulcrum Health, Inc. is excited to announce the acquisition of a substantial grant from the Minnesota Department of Human Services aimed at enhancing opioid crisis response efforts. This grant supports the establishment of a mobile physical medicine clinic dedicated to delivering essential non-pharmacological treatment services and educational support in underserved communities.
The Mobile Clinic Experience
The mobile clinic will provide a diverse range of services. It may include chiropractic care, acupuncture, massage therapy, and physical therapy. These services are designed to address chronic musculoskeletal pain and promote healthier alternatives to opioids. The goal is to increase awareness about effective pain management practices and provide communities access to quality care.
Key Features of the Mobile Clinic
Fulcrum Health is committed to a three-and-a-half-year vision to operate the mobile clinic, which is set to commence in Fall 2025. This initiative aims to leverage Fulcrum’s extensive network of credentialed providers. They specialize in reducing spine and joint pain through evidence-based methods that target the root causes of pain while fostering a commitment to opioids reduction. This comprehensive approach intends to close the care gap in areas struggling with limited treatment options.
Addressing Chronic Pain and Opioid Use
Chronic pain significantly contributes to heightened healthcare utilization, frequently correlating with opioid prescriptions. Unfortunately, many communities lack access to evidence-based, non-opioid alternatives, making the establishment of the mobile clinic both timely and necessary. By enhancing access to innovative treatment options and raising community awareness, Fulcrum Health aims to promote a holistic approach to pain management.
CEO Patricia Dennis expresses enthusiasm for the positive impact of this initiative, stating, "Fulcrum Health will use this grant to create substantial change for individuals experiencing chronic pain. Our aim is to address healthcare disparities and provide safe, effective treatment options to those in need. It is vital to educate the community about the benefits of non-pharmacological alternatives and to connect them with providers who can assist in their pain management journey. The mobile clinic will be integral in ensuring patients receive optimal treatment for their needs."
