As the saying goes:
“When Harvard talks, people listen.” Sure,
that’s an adaptation of the motto,
but Harvard’s reputation does catch people’s attention. In the
November 2017 edition of the
Harvard
Health Letter, a central 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 Manahawkin
chiropractor at Manahawkin 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 first episode of back pain.
(1) Manahawkin Chiropractic Center concurs that many of the Manahawkin
back pain sufferers coming for Manahawkin chiropractic
care do so with a first attack of Manahawkin back pain.
CONTROL OF BACK PAIN
That first episode of Manahawkin back pain care is influential
as to how the first Manahawkin back pain episode goes as well as how future
back pain incidents may be controlled. The objective,
certainly, would be to block
all future Manahawkin 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 is not of muscle!) to make it strong and flexible.
Control of diet to reduce inflammatory consumption and
boost the consumption of joint supporting
nutrients. Control is key. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center presents
a well-rounded Manahawkin treatment plan that includes
these control factors once the current pain subsides as Harvard’s
newsletter points out, chiropractors like your Manahawkin chiropractor
uses hands-on spinal manipulation (particularly Cox Technic at Manahawkin 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 specialist
recognizes back pain and the options appropriate to
help. As Harvard’s Dr. Kowalski describes, the well-trained chiropractor (and your
Manahawkin chiropractor at Manahawkin Chiropractic Center is!) will direct
your case. If the back pain sufferer should need a different
form of care, the chiropractor will organize
that care and appointment should that 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 exclaims that “a visit to your primary care
physician or chiropractor may be all it takes to feel better.”
