The Research Truth About A Largo Back Pain Pill Gabapentin That May Be of Interest
A shocking recent study will make you think twice about just reaching for that gabapentin prescription—it potentially increases dementia risk, while Cox® Technic and chiropractic care offer Largo back pain relief without threatening your cognitive future. (1) Researchers discovered that people taking this commonly prescribed back pain medication face an increased risk of dementia and cognitive decline – even after just six months of use. Use of six or more prescriptions, your risk jumps significantly higher, with effects showing up in adults as young as middle age. Hollstrom & Associates Inc is here to help though! Our gentle Cox® Technic approach targets the root cause of your back pain while helping you reclaim control over your daily life—without the cognitive risks that come with prescription medications.
This isn't meant to scare you. This information is helping us doctors and our patients alike to reconsider what may be the safest, most effective solution for Largo chronic back pain that's been out there all the time: chiropractic care.
WHAT THE RESEARCH SHOWS ABOUT SPINAL MANIPULATIVE THERAPY
A comprehensive 2021 meta-analysis by de Zoete and colleagues analyzed individual participant data from many studies to assess the effectiveness of spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) for chronic low back pain. This laborious analysis found that SMT provides similar benefits to other recommended interventions for both pain relief and functional improvement. The study's strength lies in its individual participant data analysis, which allows for more specific analysis of treatment effects across diverse patient populations. (2)
The research [demonstrates that spinal manipulative therapy produces clinically meaningful improvements in pain and function, positioning it as a practical first-line treatment option alongside other evidence-based interventions. This finding is specifically significant for patients seeking non-pharmaceutical approaches to dealing with their chronic back pain.
COX® TECHNIC: A SPECIFIC FORM OF SPINAL MANIPULATION
Among the various chiropractic techniques, Cox® Technic flexion-distraction has garneredearned particular attention from researchers. A landmark 2006 randomized clinical trial by Gudavalli and colleagues specifically compared flexion-distraction procedures with active exercise programs for chronic low back pain management. (3) The study revealed compelling results: patients who received Cox® Technic flexion-distraction treatment experienced superior pain reduction compared to those in the exercise program group, especially those who had radiculopathy (sciatic leg pain). Perhaps more importantly, the benefits lasted throughout a one-year follow-up period, with the flexion-distraction group needing dramatically fewer doctor appointments compared to the physical therapy patients throughout that entire year.
Cox® Technic works by gently stretching spinal segments, lowering pressure on compressed discs and irritated nerves. Think of it as giving your spine the therapeutic decompression it desperately needs, allowing natural healing to occur without relying on foreign chemicals into your system.
