Drug Combinations for Juneau 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 Juneau back pain or neck pain vanish right now? You aren’t alone! Aurora Chiropractic Center can relate. Pain disrupts our lives. Back pain prevents many Juneau 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 bothers you or a loved one or friend, visit Aurora Chiropractic Center for relief and chiropractic advice regarding how to manage it without drugs when or if drugs are not working or are not in your treatment plan.
NOT CLEARLY 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 a few hours, days, weeks, months or not any. A recent Cochrane Review, one of the most highly respected 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 combining drugs 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. Aurora Chiropractic Center works with back pain patients like you.
RECOMMENDED: SPINAL MANIPULATION
Aurora Chiropractic Center’s use of the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management which integrates a specific type of spinal manipulation has helped countless Juneau back pain sufferers find relief of their back pain. 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) 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 more time than these averages, but relief happens. (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 help our Juneau back pain patients, Aurora Chiropractic Center integrates supplements into the Juneau 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. Aurora Chiropractic Center is prepared to help you find the right combination of treatment approaches to decrease your back pain.
