Tramadol for Back Pain
Back pain is one of the most common reasons for a visit to the doctor. About 80% of Americans will have back pain at some point of their life that is why a lot of research has been done to find the most effective ways to treat this condition.
The cause of back pain can differ greatly and each type of pain will require a separate treatment regimen. However the doctors and scientists have discovered that Tramadol can effectively treat the following kinds of back pain:
- Postoperative pain
- Chronic low back pain
- Arthritis and Osteoarthritis pain
- Muscle injury and other moderate to moderately severe back pains
Each case of back pain should be evaluated by a licensed physician to determine the origins of the pain and the best treatment. In a lot of cases physicians will prescribe Tramadol (brand name: Ultram) to their patients because this medication have proved over the years to be effective and non-addictive. Let’s take a look at some important facts about this pain reliever.
How effective is Tramadol for back pain?
According to the research at the Northwestern University, Chicago IL, Tramadol was extremely effective in the treatment of chronic lower back pain. - Read Efficacy of tramadol in treatment of chronic low back pain.
Tramadol is a far more effective way to treat acute back pain as compared to Acetaminophen (Tylenol) and Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) - Read Acute back pain: benefits and risks of current treatments.
Patients with subacute low back pain experienced fast pain relief in a 10-day study when using Tramadol alone or Acetaminophen/Tramadol combination (Ultracet.) Although both treatments were equally effective patients who used Ultracet ended up taking 25% less Tramadol every day and had reduced the incidence of adverse effects of this medication. - Read Efficacy and tolerability of paracetamol/tramadol (325 mg/37.5 mg) combination treatment compared with tramadol (50 mg) monotherapy in patients with subacute low back pain: a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, 10-day treatment study.

Why Is Tramadol Effective?
Tramadol is technically a narcotic or opioid however its mechanism of action is completely different from other medications in this group. This medication slows down the transmission of pain signals within the central nervous system which provides the desirable pain relief.
Patients do not build up tolerance to Tramadol with extended use which means that there is no need to increase the dosage over time. Of course there are incidents of addiction but it usually happens in patients who abuse the drug use and increase their dosage over the recommended norm. The narcotic effect of Tramadol is not as strong as that of other common opioids which makes it a perfect solution for all those patients suffering from moderate to moderately severe back pain.
How to Take Tramadol for Back Pain
WARNING: This dosage information does not substitute for medical advice. Always talk to your doctor or a pharmacist before taking Tramadol or any other medications.
Usual adult dose to treat moderate to moderately severe back pain is 50mg to 100 mg every 4-6 hours not exceeding 400 mg per day.
You should start and end Tramadol treatment gradually. The recommended initial dose is 25 mg every morning. In the next 3 days increase the dosage to 100 mg/day by taking additional 25 mg every 4 hours. If the medication is tolerated well then the total daily dose can be increased by 50 mg every day to reach 200 mg per day. If the patient requires more pain relief then the daily dose can be increased to 400 mg/day (do not exceed this dose.)
How to Improve Tramadol Treatment
Drug treatment is an effective way to fight chronic back pain however there are holistic approaches that can improve your well-being and reduce back pain.
- Regular mild exercise has proved very beneficial in back pain treatment. Gentle Yoga, Pilates, Tai Chi and walking are great ways to complement your Tramadol treatment.
- Physical Therapy
- Acupuncture
- Chiropractic treatments
- Massage
- Osteopathic treatment
