National Opioid Crisis Expert, Dynamic Speaker And Author, Dr. John Rosa Shares Important Information About Skyrocketing Anxiety, Depression, And Addiction And How Chiropractic Care Can Help Stem The Growth.

Dr. John P. Rosa, opioid crisis expert, author and dynamic speaker highlights statistics that shed light on the ever-growing suffering attributed to anxiety, depression, and addiction, and how not only the pandemic has contributed but how technology is having a huge influence as well.

ROCKVILLE, MD. August 31 , 2022: Dr. John Rosa, dynamic speaker, national opioid crises expert, and co-author of The Recipe for Success with Jack Canfield, posted a new article on his website entitled “Look To Chiropractic Care To Lead The Way Out Of Addiction And Mental Illness.” Dr. Rosa begins the first in an ongoing series of articles showing how and why anxiety, depression, and addiction have accelerated over the past 30 years and how chiropractic care can play an important role in stopping the growth.

Dr. Rosa writes, “Anxiety, depression, addiction: All of these mental health issues have skyrocketed since 1990.” He continues, “According to one source, “In 2020, The Journal of Psychiatric Research outlined unprecedented changes in the global burden of depression, stating that from 1990 to 2017 the incident cases worldwide amplified from 172 million to 258 million, representing an increase of 49.8%. The American Psychological Association published that the rate of depression in U.S. adolescents aged 12-17 increased 52% just between the years 2005 to 2017 and between 2009 to 2017, there was a 63% increase in depression seen in young adults aged 18-25.” 

Dr. Rosa makes a point of acknowledging that the mentioned mental illnesses are “not just in your head.” He then poses, “So, you may wonder, how can chiropractic care help with mental/psychological issues?  For starters, the issues of anxiety, depression, and addiction, while considered by many as purely psychological, have very real physical pains associated with them.” As Dr. Rosa notes, “For many opioid dependent people, their dependency came about because of a physical issue, typically, an accident or back pain. Anxiety and depression, both can manifest as physical pain.”

Referencing a mention in the first paragraph, Dr. Rosa writes, “As mentioned in the same article cited above, “Chiropractic care influences the neuromusculoskeletal system to optimize function and reduce joint pain that may accompany depression. A 2020 literature search outlined in Acta Biomedica, concluded that chiropractic and spinal manipulative therapies along with vagal nerve stimulation may be regarded as care options for depression. Several scientific studies have concluded that chiropractic adjustments can increase hormones like oxytocin which aid in feelings of connectedness while also modulating pain.”

According to Dr. Rosa, “It is becoming more widely known and accepted that through chiropractic care, “Maximizing joint function can also affect other physical symptoms such as headaches, muscle pain, balance issues or dizziness. Physiotherapy to relax musculature is available in most chiropractors’ offices to reduce muscle spasm and promote relaxation.”

National Opioid Crisis Expert, Dynamic Speaker And Author, Dr. John Rosa
Paints A Future Scenario In Which Chiropractic Care Is The Mandatory Treatment For Back Pain.

Dr. John P. Rosa, opioid crisis expert, author, and dynamic speaker, returns to the results of a study by the Workers’ Compensation Research Institute showing chiropractic care, when taken as an exclusive step in back pain control and management is cost-effective and returns workers to their job more quickly.

ROCKVILLE, MD. July 29, 2022: Dr. John Rosa, dynamic speaker, national opioid crises expert, and co-author of The Recipe for Success with Jack Canfield, posted a new blog on his website entitled “From What If To What Is.” in which Dr. Rosa shares information that he considers worth repeating frequently.

Dr. Rosa poses, “What if we lived in a world where all back pain was treated by qualified chiropractors?” He continues, “What if anyone with back pain automatically gets referred to a chiropractor for care? What if insurance companies favored chiropractic care over opioid prescriptions and surgery?” He states, “Of course, this sounds like a dream scenario to me. As a chiropractor and an advocate for the most effective way to bring suffering to an end for the millions of people who suffer from back pain, in the most cost-effective way, it only makes sense that this scenario should be a no-brainer.”

According to Dr. Rosa, “If chiropractic care was the go-to treatment for back pain, those who suffer would suffer far less, they would save money and so would the insurance companies. In fact,” he adds, “the pain level for everyone involved would go way down.” He then anticipates reactions and asks, “How can I say such a thing, you may ask?” He answers, “Research has shown that when back pain treatment is provided “solely by chiropractors” insurance claimants returned to work more quickly. Here is the exact statement:

“A study by the Workers’ Compensation Research Institute found that medical care costs less and claimants return to work more quickly when low back pain treatment is provided solely by chiropractors. Costs were also lower when chiropractors provided physical medicine services, but other types of clinicians handled evaluation and management. However, the difference was not as dramatic.” https://www.insurancejournal.com/news/national/2022/05/20/668528.htm#

Dr. Rosa states, “I consider this research and findings so important that I want to make it available to as many people as possible as frequently as I can.”

Reveals The Proven Power Of Chiropractic Care To Save Billions And Relieve Pain Without The Use Of Opioids.

Dr. John P. Rosa, opioid crisis expert, author, and dynamic speaker, reveals results of a new study showing chiropractic care, when taken as a first step in pain control and management, to be far more effective in every way than opioids.

ROCKVILLE, MD. July 1, 2022: Dr. John Rosa, dynamic speaker, national opioid crises expert, and co-author of The Recipe for Success with Jack Canfield, posted a new article on his website entitled “A Proven Method To Save The Country Billions And Help People In Pain Without Opioids.” in which Dr. Rosa shares the results of a recent study.

Dr. Rosa asks his readers to consider the following question, “If there were a proven method of helping people feel better when confronted with injury that causes chronic back pain, save the country billions of dollars in medical bills, lost wages from being out of work, along with saving corporate costs from the effect of injury on worker productivity, all without opioids, do you think the powers that be would go for it?”

According to Dr. Rosa, “The fact of the matter is that there is a proven method that accomplishes the list of benefits I provided above.” He emphasizes, “It’s called Chiropractic Care. And I quote from an article published by Insurance Journal.com stating, “A study by the Workers’ Compensation Research Institute found that medical care costs less and claimants return to work more quickly when low back pain treatment is provided solely by chiropractors. Costs were also lower when chiropractors provided physical medicine services, but other types of clinicians oversaw evaluation and management, but the difference was not as dramatic.” https://www.insurancejournal.com/news/national/2022/05/20/668528.htm

Dr. Rosa points out that “Chiropractic is a “win-win” that the powers that be cannot benefit from.” He adds, “The Insurance industry clearly knows the power of chiropractic. But the question is how to convince those in power that there is still money to be made without creating a country of drug addicts.” As Dr. Rosa points out, “Influencing those in power comes down to greed over good. We just haven’t been able to crack the code on that behavior and truth be told, it sickens me. The lives lost, the money needlessly spent, the continued diminishing productivity of our country.” He continues, “The cost is incalculable, yet the greed is so powerful that those in power prefer to be blind to the good. This is so clear when you see the difference in the number of opioid prescriptions when patient’s go to a chiropractor for care first, before they get turned into “chronic pain patients” instead.”

National Opioid Crisis Expert, Dynamic Speaker And Author, Dr. John Rosa
Shares His Enthusiasm About The New CDC Opioid Prescribing Guidelines.

Dr. John P. Rosa, opioid crisis expert, author and dynamic speaker highlights some of the points he finds most important and relevant to pain management in the new CDC guidelines for prescribing opioid.

ROCKVILLE, MD. June 3, 2022: Dr. John Rosa, dynamic speaker, national opioid crises expert, and co-author of The Recipe for Success with Jack Canfield, posted a new blog on his website entitled “Newly Proposed CDC Guidelines For Prescribing Opioids,” in which Dr. Rosa heralds the updated guidelines.

As Dr. Rosa points out, “Back in 2016, as the opioid addiction and death rates were climbing higher and higher, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) issued guidelines for prescribing opioids.” He continues, “Unfortunately, those guidelines were misconstrued as hardline rules for setting medication dose and duration limits and was misapplied by some medical professionals and organizations. So,” Dr. Rosa states, “when an updated guideline was released by the CDC earlier this year, I was anxious to see what changes were made. I’m happy to report, the new guidelines are more clearly set out and leave less room for misinterpretation.”

“As a chiropractor,” Dr. Rosa states, “I, for one, was elated to read in the new guidelines that, “opioids should not be considered as first-line or routine therapy for subacute or chronic pain,” and that the CDC, “points out that non-opioid therapies often are better for many types of acute pain.” He continues, “Additional good news from my perspective: “The draft guideline authors found insufficient evidence to determine the long-term benefits of opioid therapy for chronic pain beyond 1 year.” https://www.medpagetoday.com/painmanagement/opioids/97133

National Opioid Crisis Expert, Dynamic Speaker And Author, Dr. John Rosa
Highlights Shocking And Heartbreaking Suicide Statistics For Mental Health Awareness Month.

Dr. John P. Rosa, opioid crisis expert, author and dynamic speaker calls for greater and continuous awareness of mental health issues that are more and more frequently leading to suicide.

ROCKVILLE, MD. May 18, 2022: Dr. John Rosa, dynamic speaker, national opioid crises expert, and co-author of The Recipe for Success with Jack Canfield, posted a new blog on his website entitled “During Mental Health Awareness Month We Must Address Suicide And Substance Abuse Disorder (SUD).” As an advocate for drug-, and surgery-free pain relief, Dr. Rosa acknowledges the inseparable connection between mental health and substance abuse issues, both of which are currently stigmatized.

Dr. Rosa states, “Mental Health issues have exploded throughout the country during the pandemic. Just about everyone has felt the stress of ongoing life and death concerns related to COVID-19 and its variants.” He continues, “More and more people are crumbling under the pressure and experiencing depression from mild to serious. But some groups of people are more vulnerable to chronic stress than others especially young people and those struggling with a substance use disorder (SUD) as well as those who suffer from chronic depression and other mental health issues.”

Dr. Rosa shares the shocking statistics from save.org, writing that, “In 2020, 45,979 Americans died by suicide.”

He then lists the most current statistics:

Suicide is the 12th leading cause of death in the U.S.
Suicide is the 3rd leading cause of death for 15- to 24-year-old Americans.
Every day, approximately 125 Americans die by suicide.
There is one suicide death in the US every 11.5 minutes.
There is one suicide death for every estimated 25 suicide attempts.
There are approximately 1,149,475 annual attempts in the U.S. (using 25:1 ratio) or one attempt every 27.5 seconds https://www.verywellmind.com/college-and-teen-suicide-statistics-3570768#citation-1
https://save.org/about-suicide/suicide-statistics/

As Dr. Rosa notes, “The statistics are shocking and heartbreaking. We can no longer sweep mental health nor substance abuse under the rug and pretend they doesn’t exist. Both are mainstream problems and are interrelated and must be addressed openly.”

National Opioid Crisis Expert, Dynamic Speaker And Author, Dr. John Rosa
Writes About 2022 Being Designated As The Year Of Integrative Health.

Dr. John P. Rosa, opioid crisis expert, author, and dynamic speaker, proposes that the confusion about health the pandemic caused has led to the positive effect of people taking greater charge of their health and wellbeing while demanding more holistic and integrative therapies.

ROCKVILLE, MD. May 11, 2022: Dr. John Rosa, dynamic speaker, national opioid crises expert, and co-author of The Recipe for Success with Jack Canfield, posted a new article on his website entitled “The Year of Integrative Health, ” in which Dr. Rosa announces that Academy of Integrative Health and Medicine (AIHM) has declared 2022 the Year of Integrative Health.

Dr. Rosa writes, “Without question, the pandemic has been the cause of tremendous confusion about our healthcare system and medical care in general.” He goes on to add, “As one writer put it, “the pandemic (is) spurring a hunger for answers and options that improve overall wellbeing and prevent serious illness.”

“The good news,” says Dr. Rosa, “is that all the confusion has had a positive effect. It’s led to a shift that has consumers looking for ways to take greater charge when it comes to their health. As a result,” he states, “the demand for holistic, complementary, integrative, and alternative therapies is rising. In fact, recent figures show that nearly 40% of Americans are turning to integrative treatments for their health concerns. This includes nutritional supplements, chiropractic care and meditation.”

Dr. Rosa states, “This is music to my ears for so many reasons. First and foremost,” he writes, “is that greater numbers of people are becoming more attuned to their bodies, and they are demanding a seamless approach to “whole person” care.” He goes on to state, “This is causing a shift in the educational system as well. According to one article, “From University of Miami on the east coast to University of California Irvine on the west, some of the nation’s largest and most prestigious medical schools have added tracks dedicated to natural healing while the number of schools focused exclusively on integrative health and medicine continues to expand. The number of medical schools dedicated exclusively to the practice of integrative medicine is also on rise, like the Whole Health School of Medicine and Sciences recently founded by Walmart heir Alice Walton in Bentonville, Ark.” https://www.healthcarebusinesstoday.com/this-is-the-year-of-integrative-health/

Dr. Rosa also addresses the fact that some “forward thinking” insurance companies are also meeting the demand. This, according to Dr. Rosa is why “The Academy of Integrative Health and Medicine (AIHM) has declared 2022 the Year of Integrative Health. The time is now to make integrative health an integral component of

National Opioid Crisis Expert, Dynamic Speaker And Author, Dr. John Rosa
Writes About Emotional And Mental Health Issues As The Root Of Drug Addiction And Calls For Compassion.

Dr. John P. Rosa, opioid crisis expert, author and dynamic speaker expresses his concern for children and young adults exposed to drugs who find comfort in them when they can’t find comfort elsewhere and are then treated as criminals.

ROCKVILLE, MD. April 13, 2022: Dr. John Rosa, dynamic speaker, national opioid crises expert, and co-author of The Recipe for Success with Jack Canfield, posted a new blog on his website entitled “Our Children Deserve Compassion Not Criminalization.” Dr. Rosa points out that Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are at the root of most drug addiction which is not acknowledged nor taken into consideration as part of the problem.

Dr. Rosa states, “Without having personal experience, most people cannot imagine the life of those who live in poverty, those who witness parental abuse, or suffer any kind of physical or sexual abuse.” He continues, “As human beings we all suffer from traumatic events of varying degrees, be it the divorce of parents, death of a loved one, witnessing or experiencing bullying, seeing on social media that your “friends” are always hanging out together, but no one invited you. Everything I’ve mentioned above represents stressors that can cause neurochemical disruption.”

As Dr. Rosa notes, “Early traumatic events in life that result in chronic stress are referred to as Adverse Childhood Experiences or ACEs.” He elaborates, “The problem of drug addiction arises when a young person living with stress is exposed to drugs through an injury, a friend, or a search for self-medication, the drug falsely gives them the spike in neuro chemistry that normalizes their world. Imagine the pull one would feel to use again and again and again. The root of most drug addiction is emotional. It’s a mental health problem.”

According to Dr. Rosa, “Everyone doesn’t respond the same way to life’s stressors. Yet instead of having compassion for those who end up depending on drugs for a sense of comfort, we arrest them and consider them criminals. We inflict more abuse and more damage. We fail to acknowledge and address the real issue.”

“If we don’t address mental health and addiction simultaneously,” Dr. Rosa states, “we will never get out of the mess we are in. And as if we didn’t already have adverse childhood experiences at every turn let’s add political hatred, strife in our streets, a deadly virus and war.”

Turns His Attention To Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), Mental Health, And Substance Abuse.

Dr. John P. Rosa, opioid crisis expert, author and dynamic brings attention to the suicide death of Kurt Cobain 28 years ago focusing on Adverse Childhood Experiences, chronic stress and abuse that often lead to addiction and suicide.

ROCKVILLE, MD. April 11, 2022: Dr. John Rosa, dynamic speaker, national opioid crises expert, and co-author of The Recipe for Success with Jack Canfield, posted a new article on his website entitled “Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) And Substance Abuse Disorders.” Dr. Rosa expresses a need for greater attention to diminishing the stigma of both mental health and addiction disorders.

“This month,” Dr. Rosa writes, “I am turning my attention to unaddressed adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and the difficulties of stardom at a young age, both of which far too frequently lead to a variety of substance abuse disorders. But,” He adds, “it isn’t just those in the limelight who suffer.”

Dr. Rosa writes, “28 years ago, on April 5, 1994, rock legend Kurt Cobain committed suicide. He was 27. Even though he died of gunshot wounds to the head,” Dr. Rosa states, “most people chalk his suicide up to his addiction to heroin. But,” he emphasizes, “it’s not that simple. The question that is never asked is, “Why was he addicted to heroin?” We don’t inquire as to why do so many people become addicts of any kind. The stigma of drug addiction was alive and well then as much as it still is today.”

As Dr. Rosa notes, “Adverse Childhood Experiences can be found in the background of most people who suffer with addictive behaviors.” He continues, “According to an article published by the national group promoting ACEs science, “The Adverse Childhood Experience Study was released in 1998. It quantified the connection between many childhood experiences and their consequences later in life, but it wasn’t the first study to link child abuse to mental illness, suicide, and drug use. According to Charles Cross’ masterful biography of Kurt Cobain, Heavier than Heaven, Kurt had an ACE score of at least four (divorce, witness to domestic violence, psychological abuse and at least one measure of neglect).” https://www.pacesconnection.com/blog/adverse-childhood-experiences-why-kurt-cobain-is-not-the-only-one

Dr. Rosa states, “Let me clarify what those scores mean by continuing with the previous article. “With an ACE score of 4, someone’s odds of using IV drugs are 3900% higher than someone with an ACE score of 0, and their odds of attempting suicide are 1122% higher than someone with an ACE score of 0. Let those numbers sink in; those are actually four-digit numbers, not typos. And as someone’s ACE score increases, the odds of each of those outcomes increases as well. Kurt’s story wasn’t one of personal failure despite societal gifts, but rather one of succumbing to the laws of statistics.” https://www.pacesconnection.com/blog/adverse-childhood-experiences-why-kurt-cobain-is-not-the-only-one

Dr. Rosa continues with more information about Mr. Cobain, along with information about how someone who “suffers with emotional stressors over a long period of time those stressors eventually turn into physical changes in health like the stomach pain that Kurt suffered with.” According to Dr. Rosa, “Hurtful memories are permanently stored in our nervous system and when those memories are from severe trauma or repetitive micro traumas it changes our neuro chemistry and eventually our metabolic processes.” He adds, “I was not surprised to find out that Cobain’s biographer, Charles Cross, presents indications that Kurt very likely experienced sexual abuse as a child.”

National Opioid Crisis Expert, Dynamic Speaker And Author, Dr. John Rosa
Brings Attention To The COVID-Caused Growing Mental Health And Addiction Issues.

Dr. John P. Rosa, opioid crisis expert, author and dynamic speaker calls for collective attention to the vulnerable youth and others struggling with mental health and drug addiction issues exacerbated by the COVID pandemic and provides professional studies and opinions that predict these issues will define an entire generation.

ROCKVILLE, MD. March 31, 2022: Dr. John Rosa, dynamic speaker, national opioid crises expert, and co-author of The Recipe for Success with Jack Canfield, posted a new article on his website entitled “How Will We Collectively Address The Growing Mental Health And Addiction Issues,” in which Dr. Rosa expresses a need for greater attention.

Dr. Rosa states, “Even though we may feel that it’s safe to venture out into the world again, as COVID-19 and its variants seem to be frittering out, the results of this global pandemic will be felt for a long time to come.” He continues, “Mental health issues are widespread, with the CDC revealing that “about 4 in 10 adults in the U.S. have reported symptoms of anxiety or depression compared to one in 10 adults who reported between January and June of 2019.” Experts around the world,” Dr. Rosa acknowledges, “are concerned for the young people growing up in the pandemic and post-pandemic environment.”

Dr. Rosa expresses concern “about how we, collectively are going to address and help those who are suffering now and those who are sure to suffer later in ways we cannot yet anticipate or imagine.”

According to Dr. Rosa, “In a recent article, “a consultant clinical psychologist in the U.K. working with adults and children, told CNBC that he believes it will take “at least a generation” to resolve the damage to many young people caused by missed milestones and experiences crucial for development.” He continues, “According to the consultant, Alex Desatnick, “Kids who grew up in this state, in this condition, and those things that they were deprived of, they will take this with them through life.” He adds, “I hope that as a society we will do as much as we can to compensate for what happened to them and is still happening.” https://www.cnbc.com/2022/02/10/covid-pandemic-mental-health-damage-could-last-a-generation.html

As Dr. Rosa points out, “Many psychologists and psychiatrists have reported an inability to help the influx of people seeking mental health support during the pandemic. One psychologist working in New York said, “There’s definitely a huge mental health impact from a long period of uncertainty and change that’s left people very isolated and not sure how to connect. That created a big pressure cooker, especially for people who already have a vulnerability.”
