Drug Combinations for Murfreesboro Back Pain and Sciatica Not Effective

April 28, 2020

Wouldn’t it be nice to take a pill – or maybe better: a combination of pills! - and have your Murfreesboro back pain or neck pain disappear right now? You aren’t alone! Most Chiropractic Clinic can relate. Pain upsets our lives. Back pain keeps many Murfreesboro 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 someone close to you, visit Most Chiropractic Clinic for relief and chiropractic advice 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

Having 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 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 supports combining drugs for low back pain and sciatica. Further, the risk of adverse effects is less with single drug therapy over a combination. (1) Have you had a let-down from prescribed medications for your back pain? It’s fine. Most Chiropractic Clinic works with back pain sufferers like you.

RECOMMENDED: SPINAL MANIPULATION

Most Chiropractic Clinic’s use of the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management which integrates a specific type of spinal manipulation has assisted countless Murfreesboro back pain sufferers realize relief of their back pain. 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 drop intradiscal pressures, widen the intervertebral canal area, and improve disc height. (3,4) Clinical studies regarding Cox® Technic have revealed that back pain relief happens 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.

RESEARCH SUPPORTED: CHONDROITIN SULFATE, TURMERIC AND CURCUMIN
