How great it would be to take a
pill – or maybe better: a combination of pills! - and have your
Malverne back pain or neck pain fade away
immediately? You aren’t alone! Malverne Health & Wellness can empathize.
Pain upsets our lives. Back pain keeps many
Malverne 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 bothers you or a loved one or friend, come to Malverne Health & Wellness for relief and chiropractic
tips regarding 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
Having drugs in the treatment plan may work for some back pain sufferers and not others. Pills may give
relief for a few 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 shortage of studies and overall low quality of evidence,
that supports combining drugs for low back
pain and sciatica. Additionally, the risk of adverse effects is lower
with single drug therapy over combined. (1) Have you experienced
a let-down from prescribed medications for your back pain? It’s fine.
Malverne Health & Wellness works with back pain patients
like you.
RECOMMENDED: SPINAL MANIPULATION
Malverne Health & Wellness’s use of the Cox® Technic System of Spinal
Pain Management which integrates a specific
type of spinal manipulation has helped countless
Malverne 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 projects to reduce
intradiscal pressures, widen the intervertebral canal area, and improve
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 more time than these
averages, but relief happens. (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 assist
our Malverne back pain patients, Malverne Health & Wellness incorporated
supplements into the Malverne 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. Malverne Health & Wellness is ready to help you discover
the right combination of treatment approaches to decrease
your back pain.
