Drug Combinations for Elgin Back Pain and Sciatica Not Effective
Wouldn’t it be nice to take a pill – or maybe better: a combination of pills! - and have your Elgin back pain or neck pain vanish right now? You are not alone! Connected Chiropractic can relate. Pain upsets our flow. Back pain prevents many Elgin 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 Connected Chiropractic for relief and chiropractic tips 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
Incorporating 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 respected medical review systems in the world, reported that a drug combination, though possibly 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 drug combinations 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. Connected Chiropractic cares for back pain sufferers like you.
RECOMMENDED: SPINAL MANIPULATION
Connected Chiropractic’s use of the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management which incorporates a specific form of spinal manipulation has assisted countless Elgin back pain sufferers find back pain relief. 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 demonstrated in federally funded spinal research projects to reduce intradiscal pressures, widen the intervertebral canal area, and increase disc height. (3,4) Clinical studies about Cox® Technic have revealed 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?
