How great it would be to take a
pill – or even better: a combination of pills! - and have your
Burlington and Hamilton back pain or neck pain disappear
immediately? You are not alone! Spinal Care Clinic can relate.
Pain upsets our flow. Back pain keeps many
Burlington and Hamilton 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 Spinal Care Clinic 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 a few hours, days, weeks, months or not at all.
A new 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 supports combining drugs for low back
pain and sciatica. Additionally, the risk of adverse effects is less
with single drug therapy over combined. (1) Have you had
a let-down from prescribed medications for your back pain? It is ok.
Spinal Care Clinic cares for back pain patients
like you.
RECOMMENDED: SPINAL MANIPULATION
Spinal Care Clinic’s use of the Cox® Technic System of Spinal
Pain Management which incorporates a specialized
type of spinal manipulation has assisted countless
Burlington and Hamilton back pain sufferers get 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 reduce
intradiscal pressures, widen the intervertebral canal area, and increase
disc height. (3,4) In
clinical studies, Cox® Technic has shown that back pain
relief comes in 29 days and 12 visits. Of course, more severe disc
herniations and spinal stenosis may take longer 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 enhance the relief and help
our Burlington and Hamilton back pain patients, Spinal Care Clinic incorporated
supplements into the Burlington and Hamilton 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. Spinal Care Clinic is ready to help you discover
the right combination of treatment ways to ease
your back pain.
