As the saying goes:
“When Harvard talks, people listen.” Sure,
that’s 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 lead 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 West Palm Beach
chiropractor at Moses Chiropractic 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 seek care from a
chiropractor for their initial attack of back pain.
(1) Moses Chiropractic agrees that many of the West Palm Beach
back pain sufferers coming for West Palm Beach chiropractic
care do so with a first episode of West Palm Beach back pain.
CONTROL OF BACK PAIN
That first episode of West Palm Beach back pain care is critical
as to how the first West Palm Beach back pain episode goes as well as how future
back pain episodes may be controlled. The objective,
certainly, would be to prevent
all future West Palm Beach 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 resilient.
Control of diet to decrease inflammatory intake and
increase the intake of joint supporting
nutrients. Control is key. Moses Chiropractic designs
a well-rounded West Palm Beach treatment plan that embraces
these control factors once the current pain subsides as Harvard’s
newsletter points out, chiropractors like your West Palm Beach chiropractor
uses hands-on spinal manipulation (particularly Cox Technic at Moses Chiropractic)
and exercise, diet and stretching programs to alleviate
back pain. It is truly a whole-body approach!
CHIROPRACTIC MANAGEMENT OF CARE OPTIONS
The chiropractor as the first episode consultant
understands back pain and the options that are helpful. As Harvard’s Dr. Kowalski describes, the well-trained chiropractor (and your
West Palm Beach chiropractor at Moses Chiropractic is!) will oversee
your case. If the back pain sufferer should require 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 work agreeably
with all these of healthcare
specialists. For back sprains/strains and herniated discs, Harvard’s health
newsletter says that “a visit to your primary care
physician or chiropractor may be all it takes to feel better.”
