Drug Combinations for New York City 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 New York City back pain or neck pain go away immediately? You aren’t alone! Rosenberg Wellness Center can relate. Pain upsets our flow. Back pain keeps many New York City 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 someone close to you, come to Rosenberg Wellness Center for relief and chiropractic advice regarding pain management without drugs when or if drugs are not doing what you need or are not in your treatment plan.

NOT CLEARLY SUPPORTED: DRUG COMBINATIONS

Incorporating drugs in the treatment plan may work for some back pain sufferers and not others. Pills may deliver relief for a few hours, days, weeks, months or not at all. A new Cochrane Review, one of the most highly regarded medical review systems in the world, stated 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. Further, the risk of adverse effects is lower with single drug therapy over combined. (1) Have you had a let-down from prescribed medications for your back pain? It’s fine. Rosenberg Wellness Center works with back pain sufferers like you.

RECOMMENDED: SPINAL MANIPULATION

Rosenberg Wellness Center’s use of the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management which integrates a specialized type of spinal manipulation has assisted countless New York City back pain sufferers obtain 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 increase 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 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
