be the second most common cause of gastrointestinal bleeding and ulcers, as
reported in the Trends in Cardiovascular Medicine Journal (2015).
Precaution should, therefore, be taken when dealing with NSAIDS for a
prolonged period to avoid any further risk. NSAIDS also have various side
effects like drowsiness, high blood pressure, headaches, and reduced kidney
function. It has also been reported that ulcers caused by NSAIDS are more
likely to bleed than those caused by bacteria.
The worst part about relying on such medications to deal with sciatica pain? If
something you are doing is causing sciatica…such as putting excessive load
on the spine during certain movements…then masking the pain with drugs
could cause you to keep repeating the action and make your pain worse.
This is a big problem with the modern approach of pain management. It’s also
why many people suffer for years with sciatic pain even though they are
receiving traditional medical treatments.
Can Chiropractors Eliminate Sciatic Pain?
Another common treatment for sciatica is chiropractic manipulation. There is
some low-quality evidence that this can provide relief for short-term
sciatica…but there is little or no evidence that it can work for chronic
sciatic pain - The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews (2012).
There have also been reports that sciatic manipulation can cause a condition
called cauda equina syndrome – a serious problem that can lead to loss of
function in regions of the lower back. It can even result in sexual dysfunction
or loss of bladder control.
