New Little Clinic partnership to bring patients non-opioid pain solutions

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Kroger’s The Little Clinic on Tuesday announced a partnership that will bring options to certain patients who want live pain-free without prescription opioid medications. The collaboration with Results Physiotherapy will see clinics in Tennessee, Kentucky and Southern Indiana offering patients free consulations and recommendations, which may include physical therapy.

“The Little Clinic increases access to important healthcare services in our communities, and our new collaboration with Results Physiotherapy allows us to further expand the solutions we provide to our patients,” Kroger pharmacy and The Little Clinic president Colleen Lindholz said. “Treatment programs from board-certified physical therapists improve patient outcomes for a wide range of the issues we see in our clinics every day. With this collaboration, The Little Clinic can deliver a more convenient and more complete healthcare solution to those patients.”

The collaboration will offer patients with chronic pain, mobility or balance issues, minor orthopedic injuries and certain post-pregnancy issues an ongoing treatment solution, the companies said.

“Results Physiotherapy and The Little Clinic are both focused on improving quality of life for our patients in the communities we serve,” Results Physiotherapy chief marketing officer Mark Tinsey said. “Now, our two entities can work more closely together to offer patients access to physical therapy treatment that will help them get better, faster — without the use of opioids.”
