Drug Combinations for Manahawkin Back Pain and Sciatica Not Effective

How great it would be to take a pill – or even better: a combination of pills! - and have your Manahawkin back pain or neck pain vanish immediately? You are not alone! Manahawkin Chiropractic Center can relate. Pain disrupts our lives. Back pain prevents many Manahawkin 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, visit Manahawkin Chiropractic Center for relief and chiropractic advice about pain management without drugs when or if drugs are not doing what you need or are not in your treatment plan.

NOT WELL SUPPORTED: DRUG COMBINATIONS

Incorporating drugs in the treatment plan may work for some back pain sufferers and not others. Pills may give relief for some hours, days, weeks, months or not at all. A recent Cochrane Review, one of the most highly regarded 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 supports combining drugs for low back pain and sciatica. Additionally, the risk of adverse effects is lower with single drug therapy over a combination. (1) Have you had a let-down from prescribed medications for your back pain? It is fine. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center works with back pain patients like you.

RECOMMENDED: SPINAL MANIPULATION

Manahawkin Chiropractic Center’s use of the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management which integrates a specialized form of spinal manipulation has helped countless Manahawkin back pain sufferers realize 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 demonstrated in federally funded spinal research studies 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. What about you?        

RESEARCH SUPPORTED: CHONDROITIN SULFATE, TURMERIC AND CURCUMIN

To heighten the relief and help our Manahawkin back pain patients, Manahawkin Chiropractic Center integrates supplements into the Manahawkin 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. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center is prepared to help you find the right combination of treatment ways to reduce your back pain.
