Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC Offers Spinal Manipulation for Back Pain Relief

April 25, 2017

Spinal manipulation for back pain relief is “it,” and Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC has it. Spinal manipulation is showing up in ever more medical guidelines for back pain relief. Medical care guidelines are recommending spinal manipulation as a conservative, non-drug way to deal with back pain, especially in the wave of the opioid epidemic that many times starts with medications for back pain control. Today, spinal manipulation is “it”! Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC provides La Grande spinal manipulation in a safe, gentle, relieving way with chiropractic Cox Technic Flexion Distraction Spinal Manipulation.

Non-Drug Care First for Back Pain

The latest medical back pain care guidelines circulated include those from the American College of Physicians (internists). Published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, these guidelines delineate three types of back pain: acute/subacute, chronic, and non-responsive. For the acute/subacute/chronic back pain patients, spinal manipulation is a treatment course recommendation. (1) It is non-invasive and non-pharmacological. Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC emphasizes that it’s effective! It’s evidence-based.

The Journal of the American Medical Association released an article sanctioning spinal manipulation.  One is a review of published randomized clinical trials. (Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC points out that these review studies are high level research!) This review focuses on acute low back pain (pain that persists for up to 6 weeks). It reports that spinal manipulation exhibits modest improvement in pain and function with no adverse effects. (2) In contrast to recent reports of the opioid epidemic and the danger of oral steroids (3), no adverse effects is impressive! That should excite La Grande back pain patients! The other is an editorial comment by a prominent medical doctor, Richard Deyo MD, who agrees that spinal manipulation for acute low back pain is suitable and brings about at least equal if not better results than conventional medical care (drugs, rest, etc.). (4) Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC says that La Grande chiropractic care with Cox Technic is evidence-based and gentle and safe.

What Care Is Offered

Fortunately, most La Grande back pain doesn’t demand such intervention and can be tended to conservatively.
