Medicines That Relieve Back Pain

Video Transcript

"Hi! I'm Dr. Eric Sayer from Sayer Family Chiropractic. I'm here on behalf of Expert Village. In this segment, we're going to talk about types of medications that you can take in order to help with a strained back. The most common and probably ones that I would personally use would be over the counters, very simple way to do it. Ibuprofen, acetaminophen, which is commonly known as Tylenol, or some over the counter medications and inflammatories that are going to help decrease the inflammation and also the pain of that low back or that strain. There are other over the counters that are possible, but those are the most common. Of course, if you're going to use those, you need to make sure they don't interact with other medications and that you're able to use those medications. The over the counter medications will definitely help relieve some of the pain and relieve some of the inflammation. They will not all the time fix or cure the low back strain. They're just more of a masking. They definitely help. It all just depends on how severe, how intense this problem is. For most little tweaks or strains, they're a great option to start with."
