Rotterdam Family Chiropractic

The chiropractic profession is unique in the healthcare industry. We are typically not considered primary care or emergency care providers but we have always stood proud and tall in support of our fellow healthcare workers and first responders. During 9/11 recovery efforts, many devoted chiropractors were right there providing care to emts, firemen and policemen.

During this current COVID-19 outbreak, Rotterdam Family Chiropractic will remain open to continue to provide care. My first thoughts during this time were of my patient base. We currently treat many nurses, police, and firemen that are being pushed beyond their limits.

I took this photo to show what we were doing down at Ground Zero. The workers there were very appreciative. Most of them were working around the clock while dealing with so much physical and mental pain. We were able to assist them in taking some of that stress away so they could continue. I (along....

In “Association between utilization of chiropractic services for low back pain and use of prescription opioids: Preliminary results of a health claims study,” Whedon reports what he found through examining the New Hampshire All Payer Claims Database. Of roughly 33,000 adults registered as having low back pain, slightly over a third saw a chiropractor. Of these, 38 percent had at least one opioid prescription. Of those who did not see a chiropractor, 61 percent had at least one opioid prescription.

The core question that interested Whedon was how many prescription fills the two sets of insured patients received. Those whose opioid prescription was integrated with chiropractic care had an average of 3.9 fills. Those who did not receive chiropractic manipulative therapy averaged 8.3 fills per patient. He estimated that the average per person opioid charges were $88 for those using chiropractors. The figure was $140, or 60 percent higher for those not using chiropractic care.

Whedon’s conclusions were, first, that the likelihood of filling a prescription for a high-risk drug of any type was 27 percent lower. Secondly, the likelihood of filling a prescription for an opioid analgesic was 57 percent lower in the chiropractic-using population.
