Here in our Burton office, Dr. Elganainy has helped several patients recover from back pain. If you are dealing with back pain, you've probably been tempted to take drugs to relieve the discomfort. You should understand that research indicates that chiropractic is often a much healthier approach than drugs when it comes to relieving this common type of problem.
In a report published in the journal Spine researchers included 101 subjects who had suffered back pain for more than 48 hours. Each individual was then assigned to one of three groups. The first group, which was made up of 37 people, received chiropractic care and a placebo of the drug diclofenac. The second group of 38 patients received fake chiropractic treatments and the actual drug. The third group of 25 people served as the control as those subjects engaged in sham chiropractic and also received the placebo, thus having no real care at all.
Both of the groups that received some type of real treatment, whether through chiropractic care or the drug diclofenac, fared better than the control group who had no real therapy. However, when the two active groups were compared to each other, the subjects who received chiropractic adjustments had improvements that were "significantly better" than those who took the drug.
Because chiropractic care is non-invasive and doesn't use drugs, it helps promote healing without negative side effects. For instance, NSAIDs can result in ulcers, hypertension, and other serious health issues. Plus, the health benefits of chiropractic last longer as it's intended to correct the source of the spinal interference, not just treat the signs and symptoms.
