Wouldn’t it be nice 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 disrupts our flow. 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 someone
close to you, visit Minster Chiropractic Center for relief and chiropractic
tips regarding pain management without
drugs when or if drugs are not working or are not in
your treatment plan.
NOT WELL SUPPORTED: DRUG COMBINATIONS
Having drugs in the treatment plan may be
successful for some back pain sufferers and not others. Pills may give
relief for some hours, days, weeks, months or not any.
A new Cochrane Review, one of the most highly regarded
medical review systems in the world, stated 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 lack of studies and overall low quality of evidence,
that supports drug combinations 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 sufferers
like you.
RECOMMENDED: SPINAL MANIPULATION
Minster Chiropractic Center’s use of the Cox® Technic System of Spinal
Pain Management which incorporates a specific
type of spinal manipulation has helped countless
Minster back pain sufferers get back
pain relief. 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 been
shown in federally funded spinal research projects to drop
intradiscal pressures, widen the intervertebral canal area, and increase
disc height. (3,4) In
clinical studies, Cox® Technic has revealed that back pain
relief comes in 29 days and 12 visits. Of course, more severe disc
herniations and spinal stenosis may take more time than these
averages, but relief comes. (5) For many back pain sufferers, 50%
relief would be most welcome. How about you?
RESEARCH SUPPORTED: CHONDROITIN SULFATE, TURMERIC AND CURCUMIN
To heighten the relief and assist
our Minster back pain patients, Minster Chiropractic Center integrates
supplements into the Minster chiropractic treatment plan. Natural
substances like spinal disc-supporting chondroitin sulfate – shown to have “genuine
anti-inflammatory properties (6) - and back pain-relieving turmeric and
curcumin are helpful in the short-term
as well as long term. Minster Chiropractic Center is prepared to help you find
the right combination of treatment approaches to reduce
your back pain.
