Why Medication is Bad for Lower Back Pain

Although you can purchase nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) over the counter, they’re not without risks and dangers.

We don’t suggest medications for Los Gatos lower back pain issues.

Here’s Why It Matters

Over the past twenty years, the impact of lower back pain on Los Gatos residents has transformed the healthcare landscape.

Estimations believe 100,000-plus people are hospitalized each year due to NSAID-related complications.

Additionally, approximately 100 people die each day as a result of opioid overdoses. Leading healthcare organizations have recognized these issues and recommend considering movement-based care options, such as chiropractic treatment, before taking medications for most lower back problems.

The added benefit?

Most individuals who pursue chiropractic care use far fewer medications than those who do not.

Why? Because it Works.

Dr. Dino Del Mastro’s chiropractic care consistently ranks among the top solutions for lower back pain.

Next Steps

Medications are designed to mask pain, not address the underlying problem.

LGSC wants you to understand that receiving an in-person evaluation is the first step toward finding relief.

After identifying the cause of your discomfort, we can work together to create a care plan that reduces your pain and helps you achieve your health goals.
