HARVARD RECOMMENDS CHIROPRACTIC

Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka is excited 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 assess your problem and manage its care. 35% to 42% of patients with their first episode of back pain see a chiropractor. Chiropractors use hands-on spinal manipulation, exercise, and diet and refer to specialists as necessary for integrative, cooperative care. Your Sitka chiropractic is very experienced in cooperating 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 is the Sitka back pain specialist, experienced and successful in its care of these conditions with the Cox Technic System of Spinal Care Management.
