Earlier research has shown that acetominophen (Tylenol) is not effective for back pain and opioid (narcotic) drugs are only minimally effective (with significant possible side effects).
Now a new study from the University of Sydney and published in Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases which reviewed 35 previous studies on more than 6,000 showed no significant clinical benefit of ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil, Nuprin)
I have said for many years that if the pain meds worked as advertised, I would have many less patients in my clinic.
Would this info change you decision to get chiropractic or physical therapy treatment if you had a back issue in the future?
