As the saying goes:
“When Harvard talks, people listen.” Ok,
that is a variation of the motto,
but Harvard’s reputation does get people’s attention. In the
November 2017 edition of the
Harvard
Health Letter, a central 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 ought to 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, notes
that 35% to 42% of back pain sufferers go to a
chiropractor for their first 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 episode of Montreal back pain.
CONTROL OF BACK PAIN
That first episode of Montreal back pain care is critical
as to how the first Montreal back pain episode goes as well as how future
back pain episodes may be controlled. The goal,
certainly, would be to block
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 is not of muscle!) to make it strong and resilient.
Control of diet to reduce inflammatory intake and
increase the intake of joint supporting
nutrients. Control is important. Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic encourages
a well-rounded Montreal treatment plan that incorporates
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 alleviate
back pain. It’s a whole-body approach!
CHIROPRACTIC MANAGEMENT OF CARE OPTIONS
The chiropractor as the first episode consultant
recognizes back pain and the options appropriate to
help. As Harvard’s Dr. Kowalski makes
clear, the experienced chiropractor (and your
Montreal chiropractor at Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic is!) will manage
your case. If the back pain sufferer should require 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 work together
with all these 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.”
