Drug Combinations for Baton Rouge Back Pain and Sciatica Not Effective
Wouldn’t it be nice to take a pill – or maybe better: a combination of pills! - and have your Baton Rouge back pain or neck pain fade away immediately? You aren’t alone! Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers can understand. Pain upsets our flow. Back pain keeps many Baton Rouge 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, visit Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers for relief and chiropractic advice about 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 work 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 backs combining drugs for low back pain and sciatica. Further, the risk of adverse effects is less with single drug therapy over a combination. (1) Have you experienced a let-down from prescribed medications for your back pain? It is fine. Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers cares for back pain sufferers like you.
RECOMMENDED: SPINAL MANIPULATION

Spinal manipulation is advocated as first line treatment of back pain by the American College of Physicians and the American Board of Family Physicians.

(3,4) Clinical studies about Cox® Technic have shown that back pain relief comes in 29 days and 12 visits.
