As the saying goes:
“When Harvard talks, people listen.” Ok,
that’s a reworked version of the saying,
but Harvard’s reputation does get people’s attention. In the
November 2017 edition 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.” presents back pain and whom back pain sufferers ought to consult
for help. The Harvard recommendation is a chiropractor (like your Lynchburg
chiropractor at Palmer 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, notes
that 35% to 42% of back pain sufferers turn to a
chiropractor for their first episode of back pain.
(1) Palmer Chiropractic Center concurs that many of the Lynchburg
back pain sufferers coming for Lynchburg chiropractic
care do so with a first episode of Lynchburg back pain.
CONTROL OF BACK PAIN
That first episode of Lynchburg back pain care is important
as to how the first Lynchburg back pain episode goes as well as how future
back pain episodes may be controlled. The objective,
certainly, would be to block
all future Lynchburg 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 is not of muscle!) to make it strong and resilient.
Control of diet to decrease inflammatory consumption and
boost the consumption of joint supporting
nutrients. Control is fundamental. Palmer Chiropractic Center presents
a well-rounded Lynchburg treatment plan that comprises
these control factors once the current pain eases as Harvard’s
newsletter points out, chiropractors like your Lynchburg chiropractor
uses hands-on spinal manipulation (particularly Cox Technic at Palmer Chiropractic Center)
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 specialist
recognizes back pain and the options appropriate to
help. As Harvard’s Dr. Kowalski makes
clear, the well-trained chiropractor (and your
Lynchburg chiropractor at Palmer Chiropractic Center is!) will direct
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 collaborate
with all these 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.”
