Is Treatment for Chronic Back Pain Creating Addiction, Not Relief?

By Dr. Mark Borigini on February 14, 2009 in Overcoming Pain

An analysis of studies regarding the use of opioids in chronic back pain was published in the January 16, 2007 edition of "Annals of Internal Medicine".

Interestingly, the authors found that opioids may be effective for not more than four months for chronic back pain. But the prevalence of lifetime or current abuse of these drugs can be over 50%.

Chronic Pain Solutions that are drug-free are what is needed

Thanks for your post about this very important issue of treatments for chronic pain - a problem of pandemic proportions.

Unfortunately, often drugs and means of pain management are the only options offered to chronic pain sufferers. And now with reports of addiction and abuse being rampant in people suffering from pain, it is clear that we need new, permanent and drug free solutions.

Having discovered a previously unknown source of chronic musculoskeletal pain after almost 40 years of research and clinical practice, I have developed a therapy that permanently eliminates chronic muscle and joint pain without the use of drugs or surgery.

My new book, Forever Free From Chronic Pain discusses not only my discoveries and innovative therapy, but my own experience with chronic pain as well.

The book also discusses why current treatments for chronic neck, hip, knee and back pain aren’t working, how to determine if my innovative therapy will work for a chronic pain sufferer and how, through advanced technology, a person’s body can heal itself for good.

I invite you to sign up for a free chapter and learn more about my book at: http://www.foreverfreefromchronicpain.com.

For those interested in speaking out against the lack of real options for pain sufferers, I invite you to join the group, Citizens for a World Free From Chronic Pain: http://tinyurl.com/CWFCPgroup

Thank you for helping to bring awareness to this chronic pain epidemic and the need for real solutions.

Best wishes,
Prof/Dr Brian A Rothbart
