Chiropractic Care for La Grande Back Pain Advised by Harvard

December 17, 2017

Harvard Health Letter suggests chiropractic for disc herniation back pain.

As the saying goes: “When Harvard talks, people listen.” Yes, that is an adaptation 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 ought to turn to for help. The Harvard recommendation is a chiropractor (like your La Grande chiropractor at Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC 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 turn to a chiropractor for their initial episode of back pain. (1) Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC concurs that many of the La Grande back pain sufferers seeking La Grande chiropractic care do so with a first attack of La Grande back pain.
 

CONTROL OF BACK PAIN

That first episode of La Grande back pain care is critical as to how the first La Grande back pain episode goes as well as how future back pain incidents may be controlled. The goal, of course, would be to avert all future La Grande 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 boost the consumption of joint supporting nutrients. Control is fundamental. Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC presents a well-rounded La Grande treatment plan that comprises these control factors once the current pain subsides as Harvard’s newsletter points out, chiropractors like your La Grande chiropractor uses hands-on spinal manipulation (particularly Cox Technic at Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC) and exercise, diet and stretching programs to relieve back pain. It is truly a whole-body approach!

CHIROPRACTIC MANAGEMENT OF CARE OPTIONS

The chiropractor as the first episode consultant knows back pain and the options that are helpful. As Harvard’s Dr. Kowalski makes clear, the well-trained chiropractor (and your La Grande chiropractor at Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC is!) will direct your case. If the back pain sufferer should require a different form of care, the chiropractor will arrange that care and appointment should that be with a neurologist, physiatrist, physical therapist, pain management doctor, or spinal surgeon. Chiropractors work together 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.”
