Drug Combinations for Williamson Back Pain and Sciatica Not Effective
Wouldn’t it be nice to take a pill – or even better: a combination of pills! - and have your Williamson back pain or neck pain go away right now? You are not alone! Apple Country Chiropractic can empathize. Pain disrupts our lives. Back pain prevents many Williamson 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 affects you or someone close to you, come to Apple Country Chiropractic for relief and chiropractic advice about how to manage it without drugs when or if drugs are not doing what you need or are not in your treatment plan.
NOT WELL SUPPORTED: DRUG COMBINATIONS
Having drugs in the treatment plan may work for some back pain sufferers and not others. Pills may deliver relief for a few hours, days, weeks, months or not any. A recent 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 backs combining drugs for low back pain and sciatica. Further, the risk of adverse effects is less with single drug therapy over a combination. (1) Have you experienced a let-down from prescribed medications for your back pain? It is ok. Apple Country Chiropractic cares for back pain sufferers like you.
RECOMMENDED: SPINAL MANIPULATION
Apple Country Chiropractic’s use of the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management which integrates a specific form of spinal manipulation has assisted countless Williamson back pain sufferers get relief of their back pain. Spinal manipulation is advocated 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) 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. What about you?
RESEARCH SUPPORTED: CHONDROITIN SULFATE, TURMERIC AND CURCUMIN
