Chiropractic Care for Fernandina Beach Back Pain Advised by Harvard

December 17, 2017

As the saying goes: “When Harvard talks, people listen.” Yes, 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 lead 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 should seek for help. The Harvard recommendation is a chiropractor (like your Fernandina Beach chiropractor at Amelia Chiropractic Clinic 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 seek care from a chiropractor for their initial attack of back pain. (1) Amelia Chiropractic Clinic concurs that many of the Fernandina Beach back pain sufferers seeking Fernandina Beach chiropractic care do so with a first attack of Fernandina Beach back pain.

CONTROL OF BACK PAIN

That first episode of Fernandina Beach back pain care is important as to how the first Fernandina Beach back pain episode goes as well as how future back pain incidents may be controlled. The objective, certainly, would be to block all future Fernandina 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 is not of muscle!) to make it strong and flexible. Control of diet to reduce inflammatory intake and improve the intake of joint supporting nutrients. Control is fundamental. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic presents a well-rounded Fernandina Beach treatment plan that embraces these control factors once the current pain subsides as Harvard’s newsletter points out, chiropractors like your Fernandina Beach chiropractor uses hands-on spinal manipulation (particularly Cox Technic at Amelia Chiropractic Clinic) and exercise, diet and stretching programs to help back pain. It’s a whole-body approach!

CHIROPRACTIC MANAGEMENT OF CARE OPTIONS

The chiropractor as the first episode specialist knows back pain and the options that are helpful. As Harvard’s Dr. Kowalski makes clear, the experienced chiropractor (and your Fernandina Beach chiropractor at Amelia Chiropractic Clinic is!) will manage your case. If the back pain sufferer should require another form of care, the chiropractor will organize that care and appointment should it 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.”
