As the saying goes:
“When Harvard talks, people listen.” Sure,
that’s a variation of the saying,
but Harvard’s reputation does get people’s attention. In the
November 2017 edition of the
Harvard
Health Letter, a prime 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 seek
for help. The Harvard recommendation is a chiropractor (like your San Jose
chiropractor at McMurray 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 initial episode of back pain.
(1) McMurray Chiropractic Solutions concurs 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 influential
as to how the first San Jose back pain episode goes as well as how future
back pain episodes may be controlled. The goal,
of course, would be to avoid
all future San Jose 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 resilient.
Control of diet to reduce inflammatory intake and
improve the intake of joint supporting
nutrients. Control is important. McMurray Chiropractic Solutions presents
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 McMurray Chiropractic Solutions)
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 appropriate to
help. As Harvard’s Dr. Kowalski explains, the experienced chiropractor (and your
San Jose chiropractor at McMurray Chiropractic Solutions is!) will direct
your case. If the back pain sufferer should need 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 states that “a visit to your primary care
physician or chiropractor may be all it takes to feel better.”
