Brief summary
The investigators will conduct a randomized double blind study, to determine whether patient analgesic delivery mode preference affects pain reduction quality in non-surgical spine patients. The patients will receive both intra-muscular and oral non-narcotic analgesics and placebo. During the study period, pain reduction parameters will be collected. At the end of the study period, the investigators will attempt to find a correlation between pre-study patient preferences and the quality of the pain reduction achieved.
