Drug Combinations for Concord, NC 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 Concord, NC back pain or neck pain disappear immediately? You are not alone! Pure Chiropractic can relate. Pain disrupts our lives. Back pain keeps many Concord, NC back pain sufferers from working and from playing and from doing activities of daily living that must be done (dressing, cooking, walking, doing laundry, etc.). When back pain affects you or a loved one or friend, come to Pure Chiropractic 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 WELL SUPPORTED: DRUG COMBINATIONS
Having drugs in the treatment plan may be successful for some back pain sufferers and not others. Pills may deliver relief for some hours, days, weeks, months or not any. A new Cochrane Review, one of the most highly respected 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 lower with single drug therapy over a combination. (1) Have you had a let-down from prescribed medications for your back pain? It is ok. Pure Chiropractic works with back pain patients like you.
RECOMMENDED: SPINAL MANIPULATION
Pure Chiropractic’s use of the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management which incorporates a specific form of spinal manipulation has helped countless Concord, NC 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 reduce intradiscal pressures, widen the intervertebral canal area, and improve disc height. (3,4) Clinical studies regarding Cox® Technic have revealed that back pain relief happens in 29 days and 12 visits. Of course, more severe disc herniations and spinal stenosis may take longer than these averages, but relief happens. (5) For many back pain sufferers, 50% relief would be most welcome. What about you?
