December 17, 2017

As the saying goes: “When Harvard talks, people listen.” Yes, that’s a variation of the motto, but Harvard’s reputation does catch people’s attention. In the November 2017 edition 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 ought to consult for help. The Harvard recommendation is a chiropractor (like your Williamson chiropractor at Apple Country 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, remarks that 35% to 42% of back pain sufferers seek care from a chiropractor for their first episode of back pain. (1) Apple Country Chiropractic concurs that many of the Williamson back pain sufferers seeking Williamson chiropractic care do so with a first attack of Williamson back pain.

CONTROL OF BACK PAIN

That first episode of Williamson back pain care is important as to how the first Williamson back pain episode goes as well as how future back pain episodes may be controlled. The goal, certainly, would be to avert all future Williamson 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 intake and boost the intake of joint supporting nutrients. Control is fundamental. Apple Country Chiropractic presents a well-rounded Williamson treatment plan that comprises these control factors once the current pain eases as Harvard’s newsletter points out, chiropractors like your Williamson chiropractor uses hands-on spinal manipulation (particularly Cox Technic at Apple Country Chiropractic) and exercise, diet and stretching programs to alleviate back pain. It’s a whole-body approach!
