HARVARD RECOMMENDS CHIROPRACTIC
Johnson Chiropractic is eager to share this
news: The Harvard Health Letter recommends chiropractic
use for back pain due to disc herniation, sprain and strain. Johnson Chiropractic
knows its Richmond chiropractic services help these conditions all
the time! It is wonderful to see this recommendation in
print.
Dr. Robert Shmerling who is a rheumatologist at Harvard’s
Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center says that “In most cases, you won’t need a
specialist” when low back pain strikes. Common causes are a sprain (ligament issue), strain (muscle/tendon issue), and
herniated (slipped) disc. Johnson Chiropractic is well-trained to care for these
spine pain conditions.
Dr. Matthew Kowalski who is a chiropractor with the Osher
Clinical Center for Integrative Medicine at Harvard’s Brigham and Women's
Hospital explains that a primary care
physician or chiropractor can evaluate your problem and guide
its care. 35% to 42% of patients who experience back pain for the first time visit a chiropractor.
Chiropractors employ hands-on spinal manipulation, exercise,
and diet and refer to specialists when required for
integrative, cooperative care. Your Richmond chiropractic is
quite knowledgeable in
coordinating care like this with Richmond
medical providers.
Bottomline: Harvard’s Health Letter recommends
that “for back sprains, strains, and herniated discs, a visit to your primary
care physician or chiropractor may be all it takes to feel better.” (1) Johnson Chiropractic
