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 prime 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 ought to seek
for help. The Harvard recommendation is a chiropractor (like your Buffalo, NY
chiropractor at The Novelli Wellness Center 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 seek care from a
chiropractor for their initial episode of back pain.
(1) The Novelli Wellness Center concurs that many of the Buffalo, NY
back pain sufferers coming for Buffalo, NY chiropractic
care do so with a first attack of Buffalo, NY back pain.
CONTROL OF BACK PAIN
That first episode of Buffalo, NY back pain care is influential
as to how the first Buffalo, NY back pain episode goes as well as how future
back pain incidents may be controlled. The objective,
of course, would be to avert
all future Buffalo, NY 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 flexible.
Control of diet to reduce inflammatory intake and
increase the intake of joint supporting
nutrients. Control is important. The Novelli Wellness Center designs
a well-rounded Buffalo, NY treatment plan that includes
these control factors once the current pain subsides as Harvard’s
newsletter points out, chiropractors like your Buffalo, NY chiropractor
uses hands-on spinal manipulation (particularly Cox Technic at The Novelli Wellness Center)
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 specialist
understands back pain and the options that are helpful. As Harvard’s Dr. Kowalski makes
clear, the experienced chiropractor (and your
Buffalo, NY chiropractor at The Novelli Wellness Center is!) will oversee
your case. If the back pain sufferer should require a different
form of care, the chiropractor will coordinate
that care and appointment should it be with a neurologist,
physiatrist, physical therapist, pain management doctor, or spinal surgeon.
Chiropractors collaborate
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.”
