Carolinas Opioid Reduction Effort (CORE)

The opioid epidemic is one of the largest health crises affecting the United States today. The goal of the CORE Project strategy is to reduce the use of opioids in the Carolinas and beyond. By educating patients and healthcare professionals about our research-backed opioid-free surgery method, we are preventing narcotics from entering homes and lowering the risk of opioid addiction The CORE Project is a clinical trial involving hundreds of patients from multiple orthopedic subspecialty clinics within OrthoCarolina — Foot & Ankle, Hand, Hip & Knee, Spine, and Sports Medicine.
