Back Pain Treatment - Miracle Cures


spinal stenosis



Eight out of ten adults suffer from dorsalgic-pain at some point in their lifetime with at least five out of ten working people suffering from this condition annually. Over 80% of back pain in people resolves itself on its own without having to seek medical advice. The etiology of back aches is obscure. Except for acute pain in the back caused by fracture, subluxation, disc prolapse and degeneration, spinal stenosis, and chronic pain, most back pain can be treated through natural applications.

The following should specifically resolve dorsalgia:

1. As far as possible continue with normal chores interspersed with periodic rest. Too much rest will in no way help with the pain.

2. Exercising, especially stretching greatly relieves pains in the back. Swimming, McKenzie's exercises, and short walks will be highly beneficial. Commence exercising gently and slowly at first. Thereafter, increase its tempo gradually till muscle and tendon flexibility becomes painless.

3. Treating the affected area with 5-to-10 minute application of ice-packs or ice-cubes wrapped in a towel within the first 24 hours of the pain surfacing works wonders on it. Cold numbs the soft tissues, radically slows nerve impulses, and substantially reduces swelling and inflammation.

4. Relaxing hot-water baths have a fantastic method of curtailing back pains. Hot-water packs and heat-pads can also be used to reduce pain.

5. Over-the-counter non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as Aleve, Tylenol, Naproxen, aspirin, ibuprofen, and Ketoprofen can be consumed. Chronic or acute pains in the back can be resolved with oral steroids or anticonvulsants. In all of the cases inflammation and swelling is grossly reduced with the injured tissue healing.

6. Steroids directly injected into the affected area's nerve roots membrane in acute cases of herniated disc, disc degeneration, and spinal stenosis, remarkably does away the pain.

7. Acupuncture relieves back pain comprehensively.

8. Massage therapy, electropathy, spine-adjustment osteopaths and chiropractors also vastly help in bringing the back ache to nought.

The above are some first-hand back-pain cures. However, surgical intervention may be required in cases of fracture or disc displacement.
