Richmond Chiropractic Healthy News December 2017

Johnson Chiropractic offers chiropractic care like Harvard recommends.

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 is the Richmond back pain specialist, confident in its care of these conditions with the Cox Technic System of Spinal Care Management.
