Drug Combinations for Manchester Back Pain and Sciatica Not Effective
Wouldn’t it be nice to take a pill – or even better: a combination of pills! - and have your Manchester back pain or neck pain vanish right now? You are not alone! Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries can empathize. Pain upsets our flow. Back pain keeps many Manchester 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 Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries 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 be successful for some back pain sufferers and not others. Pills may give 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, 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 lack of studies and overall low quality of evidence, that backs combining drugs for low back pain and sciatica. Additionally, the risk of adverse effects is lower with single drug therapy over combined. (1) Have you had a let-down from prescribed medications for your back pain? It is ok. Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries works with back pain patients like you.
RECOMMENDED: SPINAL MANIPULATION
Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries’s use of the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management which incorporates a specialized form of spinal manipulation has helped countless Manchester back pain sufferers get 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 studies to drop intradiscal pressures, widen the intervertebral canal area, and improve disc height. (3,4) Clinical studies regarding 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. What about you?
RESEARCH SUPPORTED: CHONDROITIN SULFATE, TURMERIC AND CURCUMIN
To enhance the relief and help our Manchester back pain patients, Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries incorporated supplements into the Manchester 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. Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries is ready to help you find the right combination of treatment approaches to ease your back pain.
