Chiropractic Care for Manchester Back Pain Advised by Harvard

December 17, 2017

As the saying goes: “When Harvard talks, people listen.” Sure, that’s 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 main 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.” talks about back pain and whom back pain sufferers ought to turn to for help. The Harvard recommendation is a chiropractor (like your Manchester chiropractor at Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries 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 first episode of back pain. (1) Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries agrees that many of the Manchester back pain sufferers coming for Manchester chiropractic care do so with a first episode of Manchester back pain.

CONTROL OF BACK PAIN

That first episode of Manchester back pain care is critical as to how the first Manchester back pain episode goes as well as how future back pain incidents may be controlled. The objective, of course, would be to avoid all future Manchester 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 resilient. Control of diet to reduce inflammatory consumption and boost the consumption of joint supporting nutrients. Control is fundamental. Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries encourages a well-rounded Manchester treatment plan that comprises these control factors once the current pain subsides as Harvard’s newsletter points out, chiropractors like your Manchester chiropractor uses hands-on spinal manipulation (particularly Cox Technic at Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries) 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 clarifies, the well-trained chiropractor (and your Manchester chiropractor at Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries is!) will manage your case. If the back pain sufferer should need another 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 work together 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.”
