A wide range of treatment is available for those suffering from back pain, classifying the pain as either acute or chronic.  Doctors tend to handle acute back pain by prescribing Hydrocodone, the generic of Vicodin and the most prescribed narcotic medication for back pain.  Doctors handle chronic back pain patients with a bevy of different medications and pain-reducing procedures.  Percocet, Vicodin, Tramadol, Oxycontin, Morphine, Dilaudid, Demerol, and many more strong narcotic medications can and are prescribed for chronic back pain sufferers.   These medications are often prescribed by specialist known as "Pain Management" doctors that work out of there own clinic.  These specialists also perform different types of "epidural" based procedures on the patient throughout their term with these specialists.  These procedures are all different forms of injections and are known to be minimally effective.  The patients of these clinics overwhelmingly gave credit to their pain medication for any positive results they've experienced.

            The narcotic pain medications are still the most commonly sought after pills when it comes to treating back pain, but a new internet surge has recently changed the game.  No prescription online pharmacies are now a leading source of relief for back pain sufferers.  Online pharmacies are prohibited from selling prescription medications like Vicodin, Percocet, Morphine, or any other DEA controlled substance.  The medications sold through these no prescription online pharmacies do require a doctor's prescription, and that prescription is written by an out-of-state doctor that reviews an online health survey that you complete when placing your order.  The most popular pain medicine for the internet pharmacies is Tramadol Hcl 50mg.  Tramadol (tra' ma dole) is used to relieve moderate to moderately severe pain, and is in a class of medications called opiate agonists. It works by changing the way the body senses pain.  Soma is another popular medication used by back pain sufferers.  Soma is a muscle relaxant that is prescribed to relieve pain and discomfort caused by strains, sprains, and other muscles injuries.  It's a top seller among the no prescription online pharmacies and is commonly paired up with a pain medication like Tramadol.  These two medicines are just two of many medicines that are ordered every day from online pharmacies in a multi-million dollar business.

           Pain medications will continue to dominate the back pain market today, tomorrow, and most likely the future.  Doctors who push expensive physical therapy and procedures on their patients will continue to be replaced by other doctors who prescribe medications and by no prescription online pharmacies.  Patients today are smarter and more well informed putting them in charge of their pain control.  I'm not saying that every single person who suffers from back pain is an addict only willing to try one avenue of treatment, I'm simply saying that patients know themselves best and know what they respond to and what works best for them – and in a lot of cases that's medication.  So whether it's a narcotic, non-narcotic, muscle relaxant, or other medicine intended for pain, patients will continue to choose this method as their primary treatment for back pain.
