The WORLDWIDE Role of Chiropractic for Back
Pain
Now is the time for chiropractic!
Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC is thrilled to offer chiropractic services in
La Grande and be a part of this time in healthcare. Lancet, one of the leading
medical journals, published a series of pieces
on the sad state that healthcare
systems around the globe are managing low back pain. Back pain is an
enormous issue everywhere and
growing worse. And chiropractic is “perfectly placed to be a
major player in providing a part of the solution to the global challenge of low
back” if its providers follow guidelines (like your chiropractor strives to do!) to
not order too many x-rays, stick to evidence-based
care clinical practice guidelines, and keep abreast
of the latest research (and even participating
in research when possible!). Chiropractic is recognized
for its reputation in treating back pain. A place
for it needs to be made in mainstream
healthcare to take care of more back pain and neck pain
sufferers non-pharmacologically and non-surgically. (1) The World Federation of
Chiropractic is developing toolkits for chiropractors to participate more with public health communities and be of more
assistance to patients and communities inside
the health system as respected partners for their health
and well-being. (2) Your La Grande chiropractor at Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC appreciates this support and vision
from a world chiropractic organization as that is just what this La Grande
chiropractic practice of Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC strives to do here in
La Grande.

with Dr. Christophe Dean on The
Back Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson about how he incorporates
Cox® Technic into his La Grande patient care to help decrease
back pain.
TIP OF THE MONTH: Wear a Back Support
Low back pain patients at Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC may find value in wearing a lumbar support belt. New research shows
that a lumbar support belt does not inevitably
result in muscle weakness but rather improves
walking distance ability for spinal stenosis patients with
intermittent claudication, reduces pain and fear of pain,
reduces use of pain medications, and improves
muscle strength, flexibility, and activities of daily living. (3-10) Great benefits! Your chiropractor cautiously considers
when and if to use of back braces for each individual La Grande
back pain patient as he or she heals with La Grande
chiropractic care, understanding the advantages
back braces may give along the way.
