Chiropractic Care for Largo Back Pain Advised by Harvard

December 17, 2017

As the saying goes: “When Harvard talks, people listen.” Sure, that is a reworked version of the saying, but Harvard’s reputation does catch people’s attention. In the November 2017 edition of the Harvard Health Letter, a main 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.” presents back pain and whom back pain sufferers should seek for help. The Harvard recommendation is a chiropractor (like your Largo chiropractor at Hollstrom & Associates Inc 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 turn to a chiropractor for their first attack of back pain. (1) Hollstrom & Associates Inc concurs that many of the Largo back pain sufferers seeking Largo chiropractic care do so with a first episode of Largo back pain.

CONTROL OF BACK PAIN

That first episode of Largo back pain care is important as to how the first Largo back pain episode goes as well as how future back pain incidents may be controlled. The objective, of course, would be to prevent all future Largo 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 flexible. Control of diet to reduce inflammatory intake and boost the consumption of joint supporting nutrients. Control is fundamental. Hollstrom & Associates Inc presents a well-rounded Largo treatment plan that incorporates these control factors once the current pain eases as Harvard’s newsletter points out, chiropractors like your Largo chiropractor uses hands-on spinal manipulation (particularly Cox Technic at Hollstrom & Associates Inc) and exercise, diet and stretching programs to lessen back pain. It is truly a whole-body approach!

CHIROPRACTIC MANAGEMENT OF CARE OPTIONS

The chiropractor as the first episode specialist knows back pain and the options appropriate to help. As Harvard’s Dr. Kowalski describes, the experienced chiropractor (and your Largo chiropractor at Hollstrom & Associates Inc is!) will oversee 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 work cooperatively 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.”
