NON-DRUG CHIROPRACTIC CARE

In chiropractic, non-pharmacological, non-drug treatment of disc herniations is the aim. The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management has progressed over the past 60+ years to extend hope to the disc herniation patient via a thorough examination, educated diagnosis, and research-based treatment plan that incorporates non-pharmacological care: spinal manipulation, nutrition and exercise. Usually, a patient with a disc herniation is prompted to start on day one with 3 gentle motion exercises. (Note: Don’t start until your West Des Moines chiropractor tells you to!) They are beneficial for your spine, your pain, and your sense of control of the problem. So important!

EFFECTIVE AND COST-EFFECTIVE TREATMENT OF BACK PAIN

A recent comparison study of non-pharmacological, non-drug care versus pharmacological drug care of non-acute low back pain uncovered the advantages of non-pharmacological care. The groups were analyzed before and after nine weeks of care. The results showed greater improvement in the non-drug group at lower cost. The researchers concluded that a non-drug approach could be more effective clinically as well as financially. (1) Back pain patients with disc herniation can find hope in that!
