As the saying goes:
“When Harvard talks, people listen.” Sure,
that is an adaptation of the motto,
but Harvard’s reputation does get people’s attention. In the
November 2017 issue of the
Harvard
Health Letter, a prime article titled
“Where to turn for low back pain relief. In most cases, a
primary care doctor or chiropractor can help you resolve the problem.” presents back pain and whom back pain sufferers should turn to
for help. The Harvard recommendation is a chiropractor (like your Tonawanda
chiropractor at Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation 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, remarks
that 35% to 42% of back pain sufferers seek care from a
chiropractor for their first attack of back pain.
(1) Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation concurs that many of the Tonawanda
back pain sufferers coming for Tonawanda chiropractic
care do so with a first attack of Tonawanda back pain.
CONTROL OF BACK PAIN
That first episode of Tonawanda back pain care is critical
as to how the first Tonawanda back pain episode goes as well as how future
back pain episodes may be controlled. The objective,
of course, would be to block
all future Tonawanda 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 decrease inflammatory consumption and
improve the consumption of joint supporting
nutrients. Control is key. Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation encourages
a well-rounded Tonawanda treatment plan that comprises
these control factors once the current pain eases as Harvard’s
newsletter points out, chiropractors like your Tonawanda chiropractor
uses hands-on spinal manipulation (particularly Cox Technic at Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation)
and exercise, diet and stretching programs to help
back pain. It is truly a whole-body approach!
CHIROPRACTIC MANAGEMENT OF CARE OPTIONS
The chiropractor as the first episode specialist
recognizes back pain and the options appropriate to
help. As Harvard’s Dr. Kowalski describes, the well-trained chiropractor (and your
Tonawanda chiropractor at Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation is!) will oversee
your case. If the back pain sufferer should require a different
form of care, the chiropractor will coordinate
that care and appointment should it be with a neurologist,
physiatrist, physical therapist, pain management doctor, or spinal surgeon.
Chiropractors work agreeably
with all these of healthcare
specialists. For back sprains/strains and herniated discs, Harvard’s health
newsletter states that “a visit to your primary care
physician or chiropractor may be all it takes to feel better.”
