Drug Combinations for St Peters 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 St Peters back pain or neck pain vanish immediately? You are not alone! Old Mill Chiropractic can empathize. Pain disrupts our flow. Back pain keeps many St Peters 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 Old Mill 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 work for some back pain sufferers and not others. Pills may deliver relief for a few hours, days, weeks, months or not at all. A new Cochrane Review, one of the most highly respected 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 shortage of studies and overall low quality of evidence, that backs drug combinations for low back pain and sciatica. Further, the risk of adverse effects is lower with single drug therapy over a combination. (1) Have you experienced a let-down from prescribed medications for your back pain? It is ok. Old Mill Chiropractic works with back pain patients like you.
RECOMMENDED: SPINAL MANIPULATION
Old Mill Chiropractic’s use of the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management which incorporates a specific type of spinal manipulation has assisted countless St Peters 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 been shown in federally funded spinal research projects 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 more time than these averages, but relief happens. (5) For many back pain sufferers, 50% relief would be most welcome.
