Chiropractic Care for Manahawkin Back Pain Advised by Harvard

December 17, 2017

As the saying goes: “When Harvard talks, people listen.” Ok, that is an adaptation of the motto, but Harvard’s reputation does get people’s attention. In the November 2017 edition of the Harvard Health Letter, a prime 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 Manahawkin chiropractor at Manahawkin 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 seek care from a chiropractor for their initial attack of back pain. (1) Manahawkin Chiropractic Center concurs that many of the Manahawkin back pain sufferers seeking Manahawkin chiropractic care do so with a first episode of Manahawkin back pain.

CONTROL OF BACK PAIN

That first episode of Manahawkin back pain care is influential as to how the first Manahawkin back pain episode goes as well as how future back pain incidents may be controlled. The goal, certainly, would be to avoid all future Manahawkin 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 key. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center presents a well-rounded Manahawkin treatment plan that incorporates these control factors once the current pain subsides as Harvard’s newsletter points out, chiropractors like your Manahawkin chiropractor uses hands-on spinal manipulation (particularly Cox Technic at Manahawkin Chiropractic Center) and exercise, diet and stretching programs to relieve back pain. It’s a whole-body approach!

CHIROPRACTIC MANAGEMENT OF CARE OPTIONS

The chiropractor as the first episode consultant understands back pain and the options appropriate to help. As Harvard’s Dr. Kowalski makes clear, the well-trained chiropractor (and your Manahawkin chiropractor at Manahawkin Chiropractic Center is!) will oversee your case. If the back pain sufferer should need another form of care, the chiropractor will coordinate 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 exclaims that “a visit to your primary care physician or chiropractor may be all it takes to feel better.”
