Rosenberg Wellness Center Offers Chiropractic Care Which May Reduce the Need of Opioids
Opioid epidemic. It’s been in the news. An efficient way to avoid relying on opioids is to not even start with them. The public and the medical community are (coming) together on this. New research shares the benefit chiropractic care has in decreasing the prescribing, need, and use of opioids. Rosenberg Wellness Center is happy to satisfy the additional role of pain management for New York City back pain sufferers!
CHIROPRACTIC BACK PAIN PATIENTS AND THEIR USE OF OPIOIDS
Rosenberg Wellness Center understands the widespread opioid use in low back pain management. Researchers do, too. They analyzed low back pain patients treated by chiropractors to find out if said chiropractic patients were less likely to use or more prone to use lower doses of opioids for their pain. Such an influence could lead to a decreased risk of adverse effects. They found that chiropractic patients versus non-chiropractic patients were 55% less prone to fill an opioid prescription, a significantly lower number. (1) There are many New York City chiropractic patients who would like to not fill their opioid prescriptions. Rosenberg Wellness Center is here to help them manage their back pain with the addition of New York City chiropractic care.
CHIROPRACTIC CARE IN A MEDICAL SETTING: THE POSITIVE IMPACT
Rosenberg Wellness Center often works with medical colleagues to help our New York City back pain patients manage their pain. Research supports such an endeavor! The study of a family medicine practice that integrated chiropractic services stated fluctuations in opioid prescription rates. The monthly rate of opioid prescription writing dropped significantly by 22%. The rate of prescription writing for schedule II opioids dropped significantly by 32% too. The likelihood of writing a schedule II opioid prescription dropped by 27%, too, when chiropractic services were included. Medical providers prescribed daily doses of opioids that were 30% less than before chiropractic was added. Adding chiropractic decreased the dosage of opioids, the number of opioid prescriptions, and the kinds of opioids prescribed. The authors proposed that including chiropractic was beneficial in opioid prescribing and implementation of a non-pharmaceutical option for pain management.

We will come together to accomplish that goal.
