As the saying goes:
“When Harvard talks, people listen.” Yes,
that is an adaptation of the saying,
but Harvard’s reputation does catch people’s attention. In the
November 2017 edition of the
Harvard
Health Letter, a lead report titled
“Where to turn for low back pain relief. In most cases, a
primary care doctor or chiropractor can help you resolve the problem.” discusses back pain and whom back pain sufferers ought to consult
for help. The Harvard recommendation is a chiropractor (like your Severna Park
chiropractor at Back And Neck Care Center or primary care doctor. Dr. Matthew Kowalski, a
chiropractor on staff at Harvard’s Osher Clinical Center for Integrative
Medicine at the Harvard-affiliated Brigham and Women’s Hospital, points out
that 35% to 42% of back pain sufferers go to a
chiropractor for their initial attack of back pain.
(1) Back And Neck Care Center concurs that many of the Severna Park
back pain sufferers seeking Severna Park chiropractic
care do so with a first attack of Severna Park back pain.
CONTROL OF BACK PAIN
That first episode of Severna Park back pain care is important
as to how the first Severna Park back pain episode goes as well as how future
back pain incidents may be controlled. The goal,
of course, would be to put off
all future Severna Park back pain episodes, but that may not always be realistic.
And that’s ok, too. There is control. Control of body motions
like bending, lifting and twisting. Control of body muscle like exercising what
there is (or isn’t of muscle!) to make it strong and resilient.
Control of diet to reduce inflammatory consumption and
increase the consumption of joint supporting
nutrients. Control is fundamental. Back And Neck Care Center designs
a well-rounded Severna Park treatment plan that embraces
these control factors once the current pain subsides as Harvard’s
newsletter points out, chiropractors like your Severna Park chiropractor
uses hands-on spinal manipulation (particularly Cox Technic at Back And Neck Care Center)
and exercise, diet and stretching programs to alleviate
back pain. It’s a whole-body approach!
CHIROPRACTIC MANAGEMENT OF CARE OPTIONS
The chiropractor as the first episode specialist
understands back pain and the options that are helpful. As Harvard’s Dr. Kowalski makes
clear, the experienced chiropractor (and your
Severna Park chiropractor at Back And Neck Care Center is!) will direct
your case. If the back pain sufferer should require another
form of care, the chiropractor will orchestrate
that care and appointment should it be with a neurologist,
physiatrist, physical therapist, pain management doctor, or spinal surgeon.
Chiropractors cooperate
with all types of healthcare
specialists. For back sprains/strains and herniated discs, Harvard’s health
newsletter says that “a visit to your primary care
physician or chiropractor may be all it takes to feel better.”
