As the saying goes: “When Harvard talks, people listen.” Ok, that is a reworked version of the motto, but Harvard’s reputation does catch people’s attention. In the November 2017 issue 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.” talks about back pain and whom back pain sufferers should seek for help. The Harvard recommendation is a chiropractor (like your St Peters chiropractor at Old Mill Chiropractic 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 initial attack of back pain. (1) Old Mill Chiropractic concurs that many of the St Peters back pain sufferers seeking St Peters chiropractic care do so with a first attack of St Peters back pain.

CONTROL OF BACK PAIN

That first episode of St Peters back pain care is critical as to how the first St Peters back pain episode goes as well as how future back pain episodes may be controlled. The objective, of course, would be to put off all future St Peters 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 consumption and improve the intake of joint supporting nutrients. Control is important. Old Mill Chiropractic encourages a well-rounded St Peters treatment plan that comprises these control factors once the current pain subsides as Harvard’s newsletter points out, chiropractors like your St Peters chiropractor uses hands-on spinal manipulation (particularly Cox Technic at Old Mill Chiropractic) 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 consultant recognizes back pain and the options appropriate to help. As Harvard’s Dr. Kowalski makes clear, the experienced chiropractor (and your St Peters chiropractor at Old Mill Chiropractic is!) will manage your case. If the back pain sufferer should require a different form of care, the chiropractor will orchestrate that care and appointment should that be with a neurologist, physiatrist, physical therapist, pain management doctor, or spinal surgeon. Chiropractors cooperate with all types 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.”
