Most of the time the problem is of a mechanical nature, for example, the result of bad posture, repetitive movements, or loading something incorrectly (instead of coming from an injury, infection, or serious diseases such as cancer).

If you visit a conventional doctor for your back pain, it is very likely that you will be offered only a basic treatment. Conventional treatments for back pain (medications and surgery) are risky and often fail to achieve full recovery, leaving many patients with chronic pain. That is why the natural remedies can be invaluable.

1-Stretching, especially with the Egoscue Method

The way to stretch is important. Static stretching can cause irritation and injury. One option is the Egoscue method, which is a series of very specific stretching postures and special exercises adapted to the individual needs of each patient. Egoscue helps to restore muscle balance and skeletal alignment and is frequently used as a natural method to relieve pain.

2-Reduce stress

People with constant negative thoughts and anxiety are more likely to suffer from back pain. The Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) borrows some principles of acupuncture and helps to balance the subtle energy system.

It helps to resolve underlying, often subconscious, negative emotions that exacerbate physical pain. By stimulating with your fingers (tapping) well-established acupuncture points, you return the balance to your energy system, which tends to dissipate pain and relieve stress.

3-Massage

Massage releases endorphins, which helps to induce relaxation and relieve pain. A 10-week massage therapy can give patients more relief from back pain than common care, and the results can last at least six months.

4-Physical Therapy

People who receive physical therapy shortly after an episode of back pain are less likely to need subsequent medical care compared to those who receive it later.

 

5-Diet

Eliminate or radically reduce most of the grains and sugars in your diet. By avoiding grains and sugars your insulin and leptin levels will decrease as well as your resistance to them, which is one of the most important reasons why inflammatory prostaglandins are produced. That is why stop consuming sugar and sweets is so important to control your pain and other types of chronic diseases.
