Wouldn’t it be nice to take a
pill – or even better: a combination of pills! - and have your
Vancouver back pain or neck pain disappear
right now? You aren’t alone! Vancouver Disc Centers can relate.
Pain disrupts our flow. Back pain prevents many
Vancouver back pain sufferers from working and from playing and from
doing activities of daily living that must be done (walking, showering, cooking, cleaning, dressing,
etc.). When back pain affects you or someone
close to you, visit Vancouver Disc Centers for relief and chiropractic
tips about how to manage it without
drugs when or if drugs are not doing what you need or are not in
your treatment plan.
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 some hours, days, weeks, months or not any.
A recent Cochrane Review, one of the most highly regarded
medical review systems in the world, reported 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 combining drugs for low back
pain and sciatica. Additionally, the risk of adverse effects is less
with single drug therapy over a combination. (1) Have you experienced
a let-down from prescribed medications for your back pain? It is fine.
Vancouver Disc Centers cares for back pain sufferers
like you.
RECOMMENDED: SPINAL MANIPULATION
Vancouver Disc Centers’s use of the Cox® Technic System of Spinal
Pain Management which incorporates a specialized
type of spinal manipulation has assisted countless
Vancouver back pain sufferers find back
pain relief. Spinal manipulation is advocated
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 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 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 comes. (5) For many back pain sufferers, 50%
relief would be most welcome. How about you?
RESEARCH SUPPORTED: CHONDROITIN SULFATE, TURMERIC AND CURCUMIN
To heighten the relief and help
our Vancouver back pain patients, Vancouver Disc Centers incorporated
supplements into the Vancouver 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. Vancouver Disc Centers is prepared to help you find
the right combination of treatment approaches to ease
your back pain.
