Drug Combinations for Montreal 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 Montreal back pain or neck pain disappear right now? You are not alone! Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic can empathize. Pain upsets our flow. Back pain keeps many Montreal 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 a loved one or friend, visit Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic for relief and chiropractic advice regarding 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 work for some back pain sufferers and not others. Pills may give 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, 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 shortage 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 a combination. (1) Have you experienced a let-down from prescribed medications for your back pain? It is fine. Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic works with back pain patients like you.
RECOMMENDED: SPINAL MANIPULATION
Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic’s use of the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management which integrates a specific type of spinal manipulation has helped countless Montreal 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 projects to drop intradiscal pressures, widen the intervertebral canal area, and increase disc height. (3,4) In clinical studies, Cox® Technic has 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 happens. (5) For many back pain sufferers, 50% relief would be most welcome. How about you?
RESEARCH SUPPORTED: CHONDROITIN SULFATE, TURMERIC AND CURCUMIN
To enhance the relief and assist our Montreal back pain patients, Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic integrates supplements into the Montreal 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. Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic is prepared to help you discover the right combination of treatment ways to decrease your back pain.
