Painkillers are not really "painkillers"; they are more like "painmaskers".
Although painkillers do help relieve your pain to some degree, they are only effective for a period of time before the pain returns. This is because pain medications treat the symptom of back pain and not the cause of the pain. As said, they just mask the underlying cause of your pain.
Therefore, they may be a short-term solution to a long-term problem.
It's similar to taking cough or cold medicine. Taking the medicine will help you stop coughing or feel a bit better, but the medication is only treating the symptoms of the cough or cold not the actual virus in your system. If your body is unable to recover from the virus, your symptoms become worse and you will need antibiotics to attack and kill the virus in your body before your cough or cold symptoms will cease.
Lower back pain is caused by specific problems occurring in your spine. If you do not address the real cause of your back pain, then you will never rid yourself of the pain. Taking pain medication will help for only so long before you begin to feel the pain again. Pain medication provides you with high and low degrees of pain. Often when the medication begins to wear off, the degree of your back pain will feel even more intense than before due to the brief period of relief.
Painkillers create dependency and the more painkillers take them the more you think you need them to get through your daily routine.
Since painkillers may only mask your pain you are increasing your risk of further injury. Sure, you may feel fantastic initially but, when you are on painkillers, you may be doing more harm than good by moving and exercising in ways you shouldn't. Athletes use painkillers to mask injuries but over the long term they can create further damage by not receiving the proper treatment. As time passes your body will need painkillers to the point where you feel you can't live without them, this is when addiction can take place.
Chronic pain isn't cured by painkillers but by non-invasive treatment such as the BackPro. The simple CPM treatments flex the pelvis and spine and helps to return it to its proper condition. A condition where your pain is gone and your physical lifestyle returned.
