HARVARD RECOMMENDS CHIROPRACTIC
Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka is eager to share this
update: The Harvard Health Letter endorses chiropractic
use for back pain due to disc herniation, sprain and strain. Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka
knows its Sitka chiropractic services help these conditions all
the time! It’s great to see this recommendation in
print.
Dr. Robert Shmerling 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 arises. Common reasons are a sprain (ligament issue), strain (muscle/tendon issue), and
herniated (slipped) disc. Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka 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 points out that a primary care
physician or chiropractor can evaluate your problem and manage
its care. 35% to 42% of patients with
their first episode of back pain visit a chiropractor.
Chiropractors employ hands-on spinal manipulation, exercise,
and diet and refer to specialists as required for
integrative, cooperative care. Your Sitka chiropractic is
very knowledgeable in
coordinating care like this with Sitka
medical providers.
Bottomline: Harvard’s Health Letter advises
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) Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka
