As the saying goes:
“When Harvard talks, people listen.” Ok,
that is a variation of the saying,
but Harvard’s reputation does get people’s attention. In the
November 2017 issue of the
Harvard
Health Letter, a central 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 turn to
for help. The Harvard recommendation is a chiropractor (like your Malverne
chiropractor at Malverne Health & Wellness 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 turn to a
chiropractor for their initial attack of back pain.
(1) Malverne Health & Wellness agrees that many of the Malverne
back pain sufferers seeking Malverne chiropractic
care do so with a first attack of Malverne back pain.
CONTROL OF BACK PAIN
That first episode of Malverne back pain care is critical
as to how the first Malverne back pain episode goes as well as how future
back pain incidents may be controlled. The goal,
of course, would be to avert
all future Malverne back pain episodes, but that may not always be realistic.
And that is 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 consumption and
increase the consumption of joint supporting
nutrients. Control is important. Malverne Health & Wellness presents
a well-rounded Malverne treatment plan that includes
these control factors once the current pain subsides as Harvard’s
newsletter points out, chiropractors like your Malverne chiropractor
uses hands-on spinal manipulation (particularly Cox Technic at Malverne Health & Wellness)
and exercise, diet and stretching programs to relieve
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 that are helpful. As Harvard’s Dr. Kowalski clarifies, the well-trained chiropractor (and your
Malverne chiropractor at Malverne Health & Wellness is!) will manage
your case. If the back pain sufferer should require a different
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 work together
with all these 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.”
