Drug Combinations for Manahawkin Back Pain and Sciatica Not Effective

NOT CLEARLY SUPPORTED: DRUG COMBINATIONS
Having 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 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 lack 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 lower with single drug therapy over a combination. (1) Have you experienced a let-down from prescribed medications for your back pain? It is ok. 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 specific type of spinal manipulation has assisted 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 been shown 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 more time than these averages, but relief happens. (5) For many back pain sufferers, 50% relief would be most welcome.
