How great it would be to take a
pill – or maybe better: a combination of pills! - and have your
Ashburn back pain or neck pain disappear
right now? You aren’t alone! Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn can relate.
Pain upsets our flow. Back pain prevents many
Ashburn 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 Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn 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 WELL SUPPORTED: DRUG COMBINATIONS
Incorporating drugs in the treatment plan may work for some back pain sufferers and not others. Pills may deliver
relief for a few hours, days, weeks, months or not at all.
A recent 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 backs drug combinations for low back
pain and sciatica. Further, 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’s fine.
Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn works with back pain patients
like you.
RECOMMENDED: SPINAL MANIPULATION
Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn’s use of the Cox® Technic System of Spinal
Pain Management which incorporates a specialized
form of spinal manipulation has helped countless
Ashburn back pain sufferers obtain 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 demonstrated in federally funded spinal research studies 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 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 boost the relief and help
our Ashburn back pain patients, Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn incorporated
supplements into the Ashburn 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. Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn is ready to help you discover
the right combination of treatment ways to decrease
your back pain.
