Treating Chronic Back Pain Without Prescription Medication

LinkedInFacebookInstagramXPinterestYoutube

Approximately 22 million Americans visit an Orthopedic Doctor each year. Of these, close to eight million people are looking for solutions that resolve chronic back pain.

Orthopedic spinal therapy is a safe, useful form of treatment for back pain that allows patients to experience relief without having to rely on solutions that offer adverse side effects. The Agency for Health Care Policy and Research recommends that patients who suffer from chronic back pain should utilize traditional care before following through with medication or surgery.

Orthopedic Treatment For Chronic Back Pain

When it comes to treating chronic back pain, spinal manipulation or manual adjustments are recommended by government organizations like the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research, because it is the only safe alternative to medications. Evidence shows that many traditional treatment solutions such as spinal injections, surgery, and painkillers are not effective for maintaining long-term results.

Chronic Back Pain Statistics

The American Chiropractic Association (ACA) reports that:

  • More than 50 percent of the American population experience back pain each year.
  • Chronic back pain is responsible for more missed time at work than any other condition or injury.
  • Each person will experience back pain at some point in their lives.
  • Most back conditions are caused by sports injuries, performing basic tasks, working in the garden, or an auto accident.

Look Beyond Prescription Medication

If you suffer from chronic back pain and are not interested in using prescription medications to mask your symptoms, consider the following alternatives that are safe and effective. And, if you need immediate treatment for chronic back pain, all of these services are offered at AICA Orthopedics:

  • Acupuncture
  • Biofeedback
  • Spinal manipulation or therapy
  • Topical treatments
  • Stabilization exercises
  • Manual techniques
  • Behavioral adjustments
  • Temperature therapy
  • Electrotherapy – attempts to minimize back pain through the use of a low-voltage electric stimulation that focuses on the sensory nervous system.

Yesterday was my last day at AICA College Park since my accident in December, there is so much to say about the people who work here and the level of customer service, care, attention, friendliness, and overall amazing atmosphere that they provide. Location is perfect in College Park, right off the highway and in a small plaza with plenty of parking. The entire staff, from the front desk girls, to the physical therapy girls, to the chiros, and the medical team are AMAZING! I feel like I just lost my friends not being able to visit them twice a week every week. I will definitely miss coming here. All the smiles and warm welcomes received. The physical therapy - asking about my day, if everything is okay and helping my back and neck get better. I had the pleasure of having Dr. Hector as my chiropractor, he is awesome, was very helpful in the healing process and also a native Spanish speaker which is a plus for those of us who do speak Spanish. Before coming to AICA, I tried another injury clinic in ATL and walked out after 5 mins - so impersonal and cold. I am so glad that I found AICA in College Park. Trust me, if you are injured and need some healing and TLC you NEED to come to this clinic! Highly recommend to everyone. Thank you again to the guys and girls at AICA - xo Ms. Colon
