Chiropractic Care for Montreal Back Pain Advised by Harvard

December 17, 2017

As the saying goes: “When Harvard talks, people listen.” Ok, that’s a reworked version of the motto, but Harvard’s reputation does get people’s attention. In the November 2017 edition of the Harvard Health Letter, a lead 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.” talks about back pain and whom back pain sufferers should seek for help. The Harvard recommendation is a chiropractor (like your Montreal chiropractor at Dr. Hoang's 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 seek care from a chiropractor for their initial episode of back pain. (1) Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic agrees that many of the Montreal back pain sufferers seeking Montreal chiropractic care do so with a first attack of Montreal back pain.

CONTROL OF BACK PAIN

That first episode of Montreal back pain care is important as to how the first Montreal back pain episode goes as well as how future back pain incidents may be controlled. The goal, certainly, would be to put off all future Montreal 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 consumption and improve the consumption of joint supporting nutrients. Control is fundamental. Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic presents a well-rounded Montreal treatment plan that embraces these control factors once the current pain subsides as Harvard’s newsletter points out, chiropractors like your Montreal chiropractor uses hands-on spinal manipulation (particularly Cox Technic at Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic) 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 recognizes back pain and the options appropriate to help. As Harvard’s Dr. Kowalski clarifies, the experienced chiropractor (and your Montreal chiropractor at Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic is!) will direct your case. If the back pain sufferer should need another 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 these 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.”
