How great it would be to take a
pill – or even better: a combination of pills! - and have your
Eugene back pain or neck pain fade away
immediately? You aren’t alone! Rethwill Chiropractic Clinic can empathize.
Pain disrupts our flow. Back pain keeps many
Eugene 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 affects you or someone
close to you, come to Rethwill Chiropractic Clinic for relief and chiropractic
advice regarding pain management without
drugs when or if drugs are not doing what you need 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 give
relief for a few hours, days, weeks, months or not at all.
A recent Cochrane Review, one of the most highly regarded
medical review systems in the world, stated 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 backs drug combinations for low back
pain and sciatica. Further, the risk of adverse effects is lower
with single drug therapy over a combination. (1) Have you experienced
a let-down from prescribed medications for your back pain? It’s fine.
Rethwill Chiropractic Clinic works with back pain patients
like you.
RECOMMENDED: SPINAL MANIPULATION
Rethwill Chiropractic Clinic’s use of the Cox® Technic System of Spinal
Pain Management which integrates a specialized
form of spinal manipulation has helped countless
Eugene 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 shown 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. What about you?
RESEARCH SUPPORTED: CHONDROITIN SULFATE, TURMERIC AND CURCUMIN
To heighten the relief and help
our Eugene back pain patients, Rethwill Chiropractic Clinic integrates
supplements into the Eugene 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. Rethwill Chiropractic Clinic is prepared to help you find
the right combination of treatment approaches to ease
your back pain.
