Chiropractic Care for Minster Back Pain Advised by Harvard

December 17, 2017

As the saying goes: “When Harvard talks, people listen.” Ok, that’s an adaptation of the motto, but Harvard’s reputation does get people’s attention. In the November 2017 edition of the Harvard Health Letter, a prime 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 should turn to for help. The Harvard recommendation is a chiropractor (like your Minster chiropractor at Minster Chiropractic 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, notes that 35% to 42% of back pain sufferers turn to a chiropractor for their initial attack of back pain. (1) Minster Chiropractic Center concurs that many of the Minster back pain sufferers seeking Minster chiropractic care do so with a first attack of Minster back pain.

CONTROL OF BACK PAIN

That first episode of Minster back pain care is influential as to how the first Minster back pain episode goes as well as how future back pain episodes may be controlled. The objective, certainly, would be to prevent all future Minster 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 flexible. Control of diet to reduce inflammatory intake and improve the consumption of joint supporting nutrients. Control is fundamental. Minster Chiropractic Center encourages a well-rounded Minster treatment plan that comprises these control factors once the current pain subsides as Harvard’s newsletter points out, chiropractors like your Minster chiropractor uses hands-on spinal manipulation (particularly Cox Technic at Minster Chiropractic Center) and exercise, diet and stretching programs to reduce back pain. It’s a whole-body approach!

CHIROPRACTIC MANAGEMENT OF CARE OPTIONS

The chiropractor as the first episode consultant recognizes back pain and the options appropriate to help. As Harvard’s Dr. Kowalski explains, the experienced chiropractor (and your Minster chiropractor at Minster Chiropractic Center is!) will direct your case. If the back pain sufferer should require a different form of care, the chiropractor will orchestrate that care and appointment should that be with a neurologist, physiatrist, physical therapist, pain management doctor, or spinal surgeon. Chiropractors collaborate with all types 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.”
