Chiropractic Care for San Jose Back Pain Advised by Harvard

December 17, 2017

As the saying goes: “When Harvard talks, people listen.” Ok, that is an adaptation of the saying, but Harvard’s reputation does get people’s attention. In the November 2017 issue of the Harvard Health Letter, a central 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 ought to seek for help. The Harvard recommendation is a chiropractor (like your San Jose chiropractor at Chiropractic Solutions 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 first episode of back pain. (1) Chiropractic Solutions agrees that many of the San Jose back pain sufferers seeking San Jose chiropractic care do so with a first episode of San Jose back pain.

CONTROL OF BACK PAIN

That first episode of San Jose back pain care is critical as to how the first San Jose back pain episode goes as well as how future back pain episodes may be controlled. The goal, certainly, would be to prevent all future San Jose 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 isn’t of muscle!) to make it strong and resilient. Control of diet to decrease inflammatory intake and improve the consumption of joint supporting nutrients. Control is fundamental. Chiropractic Solutions designs a well-rounded San Jose treatment plan that incorporates these control factors once the current pain eases as Harvard’s newsletter points out, chiropractors like your San Jose chiropractor uses hands-on spinal manipulation (particularly Cox Technic at Chiropractic Solutions) and exercise, diet and stretching programs to lessen 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 San Jose chiropractor at Chiropractic Solutions is!) will direct your case. If the back pain sufferer should need a different 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 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.”
