As the saying goes:
“When Harvard talks, people listen.” Sure,
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 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.” presents back pain and whom back pain sufferers should consult
for help. The Harvard recommendation is a chiropractor (like your Fort Wayne
chiropractor at Aaron 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, points out
that 35% to 42% of back pain sufferers go to a
chiropractor for their first episode of back pain.
(1) Aaron Chiropractic Clinic concurs that many of the Fort Wayne
back pain sufferers coming for Fort Wayne chiropractic
care do so with a first attack of Fort Wayne back pain.
CONTROL OF BACK PAIN
That first episode of Fort Wayne back pain care is critical
as to how the first Fort Wayne back pain episode goes as well as how future
back pain episodes may be controlled. The goal,
certainly, would be to prevent
all future Fort Wayne 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 consumption of joint supporting
nutrients. Control is key. Aaron Chiropractic Clinic designs
a well-rounded Fort Wayne treatment plan that embraces
these control factors once the current pain subsides as Harvard’s
newsletter points out, chiropractors like your Fort Wayne chiropractor
uses hands-on spinal manipulation (particularly Cox Technic at Aaron Chiropractic Clinic)
and exercise, diet and stretching programs to relieve
back pain. It is truly a whole-body approach!
CHIROPRACTIC MANAGEMENT OF CARE OPTIONS
The chiropractor as the first episode specialist
understands back pain and the options that are helpful. As Harvard’s Dr. Kowalski makes
clear, the well-trained chiropractor (and your
Fort Wayne chiropractor at Aaron Chiropractic Clinic is!) will direct
your case. If the back pain sufferer should require a different
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 collaborate
with all types 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.”
