How great it would be to take a
pill – or maybe better: a combination of pills! - and have your
Carrolltown back pain or neck pain vanish
immediately? You are not alone! Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation can understand.
Pain disrupts our flow. Back pain keeps many
Carrolltown 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 Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation for relief and chiropractic
advice 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
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 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 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 lower
with single drug therapy over combined. (1) Have you experienced
a let-down from prescribed medications for your back pain? It’s ok.
Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation cares for back pain sufferers
like you.
RECOMMENDED: SPINAL MANIPULATION
Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation’s use of the Cox® Technic System of Spinal
Pain Management which incorporates a specific
type of spinal manipulation has helped countless
Carrolltown 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 projects to reduce
intradiscal pressures, widen the intervertebral canal area, and improve
disc height. (3,4) In
clinical studies, Cox® Technic has shown that back pain
relief happens in 29 days and 12 visits. Of course, more severe disc
herniations and spinal stenosis may take more time 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 heighten the relief and help
our Carrolltown back pain patients, Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation incorporated
supplements into the Carrolltown 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. Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation is prepared to help you find
the right combination of treatment approaches to reduce
your back pain.
