Chiropractic Care for Concord, NC Back Pain Advised by Harvard

December 17, 2017

As the saying goes: “When Harvard talks, people listen.” Ok, that’s an adaptation of the motto, but Harvard’s reputation does catch 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 consult for help. The Harvard recommendation is a chiropractor (like your Concord, NC chiropractor at Pure Chiropractic 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 turn to a chiropractor for their initial attack of back pain. (1) Pure Chiropractic concurs that many of the Concord, NC back pain sufferers seeking Concord, NC chiropractic care do so with a first episode of Concord, NC back pain.

CONTROL OF BACK PAIN

That first episode of Concord, NC back pain care is critical as to how the first Concord, NC back pain episode goes as well as how future back pain episodes may be controlled. The goal, of course, would be to avert all future Concord, NC 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 isn’t of muscle!) to make it strong and flexible. Control of diet to reduce inflammatory consumption and improve the consumption of joint supporting nutrients. Control is fundamental. Pure Chiropractic presents a well-rounded Concord, NC treatment plan that incorporates these control factors once the current pain subsides as Harvard’s newsletter points out, chiropractors like your Concord, NC chiropractor uses hands-on spinal manipulation (particularly Cox Technic at Pure Chiropractic) and exercise, diet and stretching programs to relieve back pain.

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 clarifies, the well-trained chiropractor (and your Concord, NC chiropractor at Pure Chiropractic is!) will oversee your case. If the back pain sufferer should require another form of care, the chiropractor will arrange that care and appointment should it be with a neurologist, physiatrist, physical therapist, pain management doctor, or spinal surgeon. Chiropractors work cooperatively with all types 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.”
