| Natural Relief For Lower Back Pain |
|
Question:
Was in an auto accident about one year
ago, have severve pain in lower back.
The doctors say that I have a compression
in my spine. Anybody know of any non
medicinal remedies that might work?
Answer:
Glucosamine and Chondroitin have been known to help many cases of back
pain. Although often sold together, it is usually better to purchase
separately as each individual requires different proportions.
An herbal calcium product plus Vitamin D would be of support to your
structural system.
The Chinese believe that the urinary and structural systems are one system.
In traditional Chinese herbology, natural diuretics such as hydrangea might
also be considered.
Morinda or Noni has been used for pain for hundreds of years by the native
people.
Also, arnica is effective. Herb Pharms makes an Arnica compound oil which
can be massaged into the affected area to reduce swelling, and provide some
pain relief. If there is disc or tendon problem, gentle massage may be
beneficial. Gentle exercise which helps the flow of cerebro-spinal fluid in
the low back, such as tai ch'i will aid the body in healing. Some forms of
yoga may be helpful, but only under supervision of a qualified instructor,
as some postures may actually exacerbate the condition.
