Wouldn’t it be nice to take a
pill – or maybe better: a combination of pills! - and have your
West Des Moines back pain or neck pain fade away
immediately? You are not alone! Executive Chiropractic of Iowa can understand.
Pain upsets our flow. Back pain keeps many
West Des Moines 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 bothers you or a loved one or friend, visit Executive Chiropractic of Iowa for relief and chiropractic
tips about how to manage it without
drugs when or if drugs are not working or are not in
your treatment plan.
NOT CLEARLY 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 new Cochrane Review, one of the most highly respected
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 supports drug combinations for low back
pain and sciatica. Additionally, 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 is ok.
Executive Chiropractic of Iowa works with back pain sufferers
like you.
RECOMMENDED: SPINAL MANIPULATION
Executive Chiropractic of Iowa’s use of the Cox® Technic System of Spinal
Pain Management which integrates a specific
type of spinal manipulation has assisted countless
West Des Moines back pain sufferers get relief of their back pain. 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 demonstrated in federally funded spinal research projects to reduce
intradiscal pressures, widen the intervertebral canal area, and improve
disc height. (3,4) Clinical studies about 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. What about you?
