Drug Combinations for San Jose Back Pain and Sciatica Not Effective
How great it would be to take a pill – or maybe better: a combination of pills! - and have your San Jose back pain or neck pain fade away immediately? You aren’t alone! Chiropractic Solutions can understand. Pain upsets our lives. Back pain prevents many San Jose 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, come to Chiropractic Solutions 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 WELL SUPPORTED: DRUG COMBINATIONS
Having drugs in the treatment plan may be successful for some back pain sufferers and not others. Pills may deliver relief for a few hours, days, weeks, months or not any. A new 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 shortage of studies and overall low quality of evidence, that backs drug combinations for low back pain and sciatica. Additionally, the risk of adverse effects is less with single drug therapy over combined. (1) Have you had a let-down from prescribed medications for your back pain? It is ok. Chiropractic Solutions works with back pain sufferers like you.
RECOMMENDED: SPINAL MANIPULATION
Chiropractic Solutions’s use of the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management which integrates a specific type of spinal manipulation has helped countless San Jose back pain sufferers get back pain relief. 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 been shown in federally funded spinal research projects to drop intradiscal pressures, widen the intervertebral canal area, and increase disc height. (3,4) In clinical studies, Cox® Technic has shown 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. What about you?
RESEARCH SUPPORTED: CHONDROITIN SULFATE, TURMERIC AND CURCUMIN
To enhance the relief and assist our San Jose back pain patients, Chiropractic Solutions incorporated supplements into the San Jose 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 come in handy in the short-term as well as long term. Chiropractic Solutions is ready to help you discover the right combination of treatment ways to decrease your back pain.
