How great it would be to take a
pill – or even better: a combination of pills! - and have your
Baton Rouge back pain or neck pain fade away
immediately? You are not alone! Capitol Spine & Rehabilitation can relate.
Pain upsets our flow. Back pain keeps many
Baton Rouge 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 Capitol Spine & Rehabilitation for relief and chiropractic
tips about pain management without
drugs when or if drugs are not working or are not in
your treatment plan.
NOT WELL SUPPORTED: DRUG COMBINATIONS
Incorporating drugs in the treatment plan may be
successful for some back pain sufferers and not others. Pills may deliver
relief for some hours, days, weeks, months or not any.
A recent Cochrane Review, one of the most highly respected
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 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 had
a let-down from prescribed medications for your back pain? It is ok.
Capitol Spine & Rehabilitation cares for back pain sufferers
like you.
RECOMMENDED: SPINAL MANIPULATION
Capitol Spine & Rehabilitation’s use of the Cox® Technic System of Spinal
Pain Management which incorporates a specific
form of spinal manipulation has assisted countless
Baton Rouge back pain sufferers find 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 reduce
intradiscal pressures, widen the intervertebral canal area, and improve
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 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 assist
our Baton Rouge back pain patients, Capitol Spine & Rehabilitation incorporated
supplements into the Baton Rouge 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. Capitol Spine & Rehabilitation is prepared to help you find
the right combination of treatment ways to ease
