Chiropractic Care for Groton Back Pain Advised by Harvard

December 17, 2017

As the saying goes: “When Harvard talks, people listen.” Sure, that’s 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 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 consult for help. The Harvard recommendation is a chiropractor (like your Groton chiropractor at Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office 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 go to a chiropractor for their first episode of back pain. (1) Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office agrees that many of the Groton back pain sufferers coming for Groton chiropractic care do so with a first attack of Groton back pain.

CONTROL OF BACK PAIN

That first episode of Groton back pain care is influential as to how the first Groton back pain episode goes as well as how future back pain episodes may be controlled. The objective, certainly, would be to prevent all future Groton 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 is not of muscle!) to make it strong and resilient. Control of diet to reduce inflammatory consumption and boost the intake of joint supporting nutrients. Control is fundamental. Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office encourages a well-rounded Groton treatment plan that includes these control factors once the current pain subsides as Harvard’s newsletter points out, chiropractors like your Groton chiropractor uses hands-on spinal manipulation (particularly Cox Technic at Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office) 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 describes, the experienced chiropractor (and your Groton chiropractor at Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office is!) will oversee your case. If the back pain sufferer should need 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 these of healthcare specialists. For back sprains/strains and herniated discs, Harvard’s health newsletter exclaims that “a visit to your primary care physician or chiropractor may be all it takes to feel better.”
