Drug Combinations for Groton 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 Groton back pain or neck pain go away right now? You are not alone! Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office can relate. Pain disrupts our lives. Back pain prevents many Groton 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, visit Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office for relief and chiropractic advice about pain management without drugs when or if drugs are not working or are not in your treatment plan.
NOT CLEARLY 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 recent Cochrane Review, one of the most highly regarded medical review systems in the world, stated 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 lack 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 lower with single drug therapy over combined. (1) Have you experienced a let-down from prescribed medications for your back pain? It’s fine. Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office works with back pain patients like you.
RECOMMENDED: SPINAL MANIPULATION
Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office’s use of the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management which incorporates a specialized form of spinal manipulation has assisted countless Groton back pain sufferers obtain 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 demonstrated in federally funded spinal research studies to drop intradiscal pressures, widen the intervertebral canal area, and improve 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 longer than these averages, but relief happens. (5) For many back pain sufferers, 50% relief would be most welcome. How about you?
