As the saying goes:
“When Harvard talks, people listen.” Sure,
that is a variation of the motto,
but Harvard’s reputation does get people’s attention. In the
November 2017 issue 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.” discusses back pain and whom back pain sufferers should consult
for help. The Harvard recommendation is a chiropractor (like your Auburn
chiropractor at Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. 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 go to a
chiropractor for their initial episode of back pain.
(1) Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. agrees that many of the Auburn
back pain sufferers coming for Auburn chiropractic
care do so with a first attack of Auburn back pain.
CONTROL OF BACK PAIN
That first episode of Auburn back pain care is important
as to how the first Auburn back pain episode goes as well as how future
back pain incidents may be controlled. The objective,
of course, would be to put off
all future Auburn 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 decrease inflammatory intake and
increase the intake of joint supporting
nutrients. Control is important. Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. presents
a well-rounded Auburn treatment plan that includes
these control factors once the current pain eases as Harvard’s
newsletter points out, chiropractors like your Auburn chiropractor
uses hands-on spinal manipulation (particularly Cox Technic at Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C.)
and exercise, diet and stretching programs to lessen
back pain. It is truly 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 describes, the experienced chiropractor (and your
Auburn chiropractor at Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. is!) will manage
your case. If the back pain sufferer should need another
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 exclaims that “a visit to your primary care
physician or chiropractor may be all it takes to feel better.”
