As the saying goes:
“When Harvard talks, people listen.” Sure,
that is a reworked version of the motto,
but Harvard’s reputation does get people’s attention. In the
November 2017 issue of the
Harvard
Health Letter, a prime 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 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 go to a
chiropractor for their first attack of back pain.
(1) Amelia Chiropractic Clinic agrees that many of the Fernandina Beach
back pain sufferers coming for Fernandina Beach chiropractic
care do so with a first episode of Fernandina Beach back pain.
CONTROL OF BACK PAIN
That first episode of Fernandina Beach back pain care is influential
as to how the first Fernandina Beach back pain episode goes as well as how future
back pain episodes may be controlled. The objective,
of course, would be to prevent
all future Fernandina Beach 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 flexible.
Control of diet to decrease inflammatory consumption and
boost the intake of joint supporting
nutrients. Control is important. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic designs
a well-rounded Fernandina Beach treatment plan that incorporates
these control factors once the current pain eases 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 consultant
recognizes back pain and the options that are helpful. As Harvard’s Dr. Kowalski clarifies, the experienced chiropractor (and your
Fernandina Beach chiropractor at Amelia Chiropractic Clinic is!) will manage
your case. If the back pain sufferer should need another
form of care, the chiropractor will arrange
that care and appointment should that be with a neurologist,
physiatrist, physical therapist, pain management doctor, or spinal surgeon.
Chiropractors collaborate
with all types 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.”
