Are you constantly suffering from back pain or other spinal problems that are causing you to lead an uncomfortable life? Sometimes, these problems occur because of an accident that one may have met with, while other times these things can happen because of old age, wrong body posture etc.
Most people hate to consume medicines to cure any kind of problems, and back pain is no exception. Thankfully, there are a lot of ways in which one can get rid of back pain minus medicines.
1. Physiotherapy
This approach would depend on the extent of the damage on the back or the spine. Doctors recommend multiple sittings (depending on how severe the pain is), and physiotherapists work their way through hot and cold treatments to release muscle stress and strengthen them, also strengthening and fixing the bones alongside. This is basically a manual therapy that helps to promote mobility, for the person to live an easier life.
2. Homeopathy
These are away from conventional medicines, and don't have any kind of side effects on the body. It is believed, that just about anything can be cured with homeopathy. Your doctor will initially ask you for some X-rays and other reports to judge the condition, post that he will prescribe homeopathy medicines along with some other natural remedies to help cure the pain. It works well for old people, as well as for those who are allergic to allopathic medicines, or want to get treatment minus them.
3. Massage
This may not work on everyone. However, some forms of back pain can be treated with regular concentrated massage. This is again a manual therapy, and requires experts to work their way through your back muscles. Most mild and basic forms of back pains can get cured with this technique quite easily. Specific pain relieving oils are used most of the times to help get rid of the pain and stress faster.
4. Physical Exercises
There are different kinds of physical exercises that help to reduce the stiffness in the spine, thereby helping one to get rid of back pain. Sometimes, people see benefits out of Yoga, while others see good results from Tai Chi. Doctors and physicians might also suggest some basic exercises to you, to help you reduce pain and improve your posture at the same time.
5. Healing Crystals
These are again an alternate form of healing back pain. Handled by specialists, these healing crystals are placed on specific points of the body.. The crystals help the body to absorb healing energy through these points, which gradually fights against the source or cause of pain. It usually takes multiple sittings for people to see the benefit, and the results may vary within people.
What you choose out of all these methods should be dependent on the extent of the pain or the injury on your back. Usually, all of these techniques work on all kinds of back pain problems, but the progress of one technique may be better on someone else, while the other technique could suit you more. So you need to try them to understand what suits your body best.
