Chiropractic Care for Juneau Back Pain Advised by Harvard

December 17, 2017

As the saying goes: “When Harvard talks, people listen.” Yes, that is a reworked version of the saying, 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.” talks about back pain and whom back pain sufferers should seek for help. The Harvard recommendation is a chiropractor (like your Juneau chiropractor at Aurora 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, points out that 35% to 42% of back pain sufferers go to a chiropractor for their initial episode of back pain. (1) Aurora Chiropractic Center agrees that many of the Juneau back pain sufferers seeking Juneau chiropractic care do so with a first episode of Juneau back pain.

CONTROL OF BACK PAIN

That first episode of Juneau back pain care is important as to how the first Juneau back pain episode goes as well as how future back pain incidents may be controlled. The goal, of course, would be to block all future Juneau 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 intake and improve the consumption of joint supporting nutrients. Control is fundamental. Aurora Chiropractic Center encourages a well-rounded Juneau treatment plan that incorporates these control factors once the current pain subsides as Harvard’s newsletter points out, chiropractors like your Juneau chiropractor uses hands-on spinal manipulation (particularly Cox Technic at Aurora Chiropractic Center) and exercise, diet and stretching programs to alleviate 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 makes clear, the experienced chiropractor (and your Juneau chiropractor at Aurora Chiropractic Center is!) will oversee your case. If the back pain sufferer should require 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 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.”
