Dr. Michael Sinel on Theramine in Treatment of Chronic Pain

(Newswire.net — January 17, 2018) Santa Monica, CA — Chronic pain is a condition that affects millions of Americans each year. While the causes may differ, the debilitating symptoms and constant pain have been shown to reduce both productivity and quality of life. The medical community has relied on non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to help patients overcome their pain, but this class of drugs is not without its dangers. Dr. Michael Sinel, a leading medical authority on chronic back pain and its treatments, knows that emerging medical science has given patients new options for dealing with their conditions. Theramine, a prescription-only encapsulated medical food, has been shown in published clinical trials to be both effective and safer than NSAIDs when used to treat chronic back pain. “Recent studies have shown that especially in elderly patients 65 and older, Theramine greatly reduces complications in chronic pain management,” says Dr. Sinel, who is an assistant clinical professor at the UCLA School of Medicine in addition to treating patients at his private practice. “NSAIDs are a leading cause of drug-induced gastrointestinal bleeding in the U.S., and Theramine is quickly becoming a recognized treatment for chronic low back pain conditions.” To learn more about Dr. Sinel’s work in the pain management field, visit https://newswire.net/newsroom/pr/00093459-michael-sinel-shares-different-approach-to-back-pain.html.

Theramine™ was developed to influence the neurotransmitters thatinhibit neuronal firing, reducing inflammation in the process. The prescription-only encapsulated medical food contains a range of amino acids that activate opioid receptors in the human body while supporting healthy neurotransmitter function. One of the amino acids is L-histidine, a substance that triggers the body to produce glucocorticoids. In turn, these compounds block production of prostaglandins, which helps to both inhibit and reverse inflammation. The end result is pain relief without the harmful gastrointestinal side effects that NSAIDs have been known for. NSAIDs have been implicated in organ failures and cardiovascular risks, especially in elderly patients. Patients with a combination of disease states and medications to combat those health concerns are at even greater risk of complications using NSAIDs, so physicians have sought effective alternatives for several years. “Theramine represents a safer path forward,” adds Dr. Sinel, who has spent the past decade authoring two popular books on back pain and establishing clinical practices in the Southern California region. “It is an effective and safe treatment option that should be considered by any patient suffering from back pain and inflammation”

Dr. Michael Sinel, MD, was recently in the news for hosting a chess tournament supporting homeless youth in Venice, California. Dr. Sinel partnered with a local non-profit organization to host the event, which raises funds for food, clothing and services for the homeless youth population.
