Epidural Shots For Neck and Back Pain-Chicago Chiropractor 60630
Published by Chicago Chiropractor Seaman Chiropractic on Tuesday, October 6, 2009 at 4:23 PM.
Below is a study proving the failure of long-term pain relief from epidural injections for people with neck and back pain.
Three hundred (300) patients with neck and back pain were given epidural injections.
In two to six weeks, most epidural blocks lost their effectiveness. There was no improvement at 3 months, 6 months or 1 year after injection. The epidurals had no impact on day-to-day functioning, the need for surgery or long-term pain control. (1-2)
Why didn't the shot work? The reason is simple - injections don't correct subluxations, chiropractors do. The underlying problem was not addressed or worked on. That is not the treatment at Seaman Chiropractic in Chicago. We analyze the cause of your problem, use the body's ability to heal, and chiropractic to get a permanent improvement in your pain.
