Drug Combinations for Minster Back Pain and Sciatica Not Effective
How great it would be to take a pill – or even better: a combination of pills! - and have your Minster back pain or neck pain go away immediately? You are not alone! Minster Chiropractic Center can empathize. Pain upsets our lives. Back pain keeps many Minster back pain sufferers from working and from playing and from doing activities of daily living that must be done (walking, showering, cooking, cleaning, dressing, etc.). When back pain bothers you or a loved one or friend, visit Minster Chiropractic Center for relief and chiropractic tips regarding how to manage it without drugs when or if drugs are not doing what you need or are not in your treatment plan.
NOT CLEARLY SUPPORTED: DRUG COMBINATIONS
Having drugs in the treatment plan may work for some back pain sufferers and not others. Pills may deliver relief for some hours, days, weeks, months or not at all. A new Cochrane Review, one of the most highly regarded medical review systems in the world, reported that a drug combination, though may be better for more pain relief, for low back pain and sciatica is not supported. There is no clear evidence, as a matter of fact there is a shortage of studies and overall low quality of evidence, that supports combining drugs for low back pain and sciatica. Additionally, the risk of adverse effects is less with single drug therapy over combined. (1) Have you experienced a let-down from prescribed medications for your back pain? It is ok. Minster Chiropractic Center cares for back pain patients like you.
RECOMMENDED: SPINAL MANIPULATION
Minster Chiropractic Center’s use of the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management which integrates a specific form of spinal manipulation has assisted countless Minster back pain sufferers realize relief of their back pain. Spinal manipulation is recommended as first line treatment of back pain by the American College of Physicians and the American Board of Family Physicians. (2) Cox® Technic has demonstrated in federally funded spinal research projects to drop intradiscal pressures, widen the intervertebral canal area, and increase disc height. (3,4) Clinical studies about Cox® Technic have shown that back pain relief comes in 29 days and 12 visits. Of course, more severe disc herniations and spinal stenosis may take longer than these averages, but relief comes. (5) For many back pain sufferers, 50% relief would be most welcome. How about you?
