In a rush of publicity, a number of drugs like Vioxx were taken off the market. The reason was that they were said to increase the risk of heart attack. Then it was Celebrex's turn to be carefully evaluated due to the identical concerns. Now the focus is back on anti-inflammatory medication.

In a rush of publicity, a number of drugs like Vioxx were taken off the market. The reason was that they were said to increase the risk of heart attack. Then it was Celebrex's turn to be carefully evaluated due to the identical concerns. Now the focus is back on anti-inflammatory medication.

According to a recent study conducted by the Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, research shows that Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDS) are the cause of more intestinal damage than it was previously suspected.

In light of this, it would be safe to say that now is certainly an excellent time to explore safe and natural pain alternatives. Chiropractic care is foremost among those available. You will want to take notice yourself if you are using this type of drug for a spine related condition. Of course, if you have a friend or relative to whom this applies, you will want to send them this information, too.

Estimates show that the annual expense of treating low back pain (LBP) in the United States alone is some $100 billion. Recurring chronic disability is believed to contribute to the overall cost of back pain, and according to studies, only a percentage of LBP patients are completely cured, and remain pain free.

Recent research took 30 sufferers of chronic and non-specific low back pain for a minimum of six months duration and divided them into a pair of groups. The first group got 12 courses of treatment across a single month, yet no treatments the following nine months, while the next group got 12 treatments across one month, combined with spinal adjustments each three weeks of the ensuing nine months.

Results: Patients in both of the groups noticed considerable decreases in lower back pain scores after completing the first round of treatments. The most obvious discrepancy was noticed in disability scores throughout the study.

When the data was analyzed, it was found that in patients given spinal manipulation treatment for maintenance, "the disability scores were significantly lower after the 10-month period than before the initial phase of treatment." In contrast, in the other group of patients, "the mean disability scores went back to their pretreatment level." These results are proof both that receiving chiropractic care regularly aids in lessening LBP and disability resulting from LBP, and that ongoing chiropractic treatment given after the acute stage helps keep the pain from coming back. If LBP or any other problem that impairs your physical function affect your life, your doctor of chiropractic can devise a treatment plan that will help you.
