HARVARD RECOMMENDS CHIROPRACTIC

Vancouver Disc Centers is eager to share this update: The Harvard Health Letter endorses chiropractic use for back pain due to disc herniation, sprain and strain. Vancouver Disc Centers knows its Vancouver 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 appears. Common sources of it are a sprain (ligament issue), strain (muscle/tendon issue), and herniated (slipped) disc. Vancouver Disc Centers 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 makes clear 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 Vancouver chiropractic is very knowledgeable in coordinating care like this with Vancouver 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) Vancouver Disc Centers is the Vancouver back pain specialist, experienced and successful in its care of these conditions with the Cox Technic System of Spinal Care Management.
