An Overview Of Back Pain Treatments

By Wilson Resturbee


Do you have back pain? You would probably be prepared to take virtually anything that could help make you feel better. Anyone that suffers from back pain knows that it can limit their ability to do their job or even interact with their family. There are many treatments for back pain, some mainstream and some alternative and in this article we'll be looking at some of the more promising options.

Have you heard of Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)? It is a new way of treating back pain that is the result of advances of modern technology. The results of using this high-tech level system looks promising, however, it has not been used on enough people to clearly demonstrate its capabilities. The pain that a person feels will actually diminish by virtue of the lasers interacting with the body's tissues at a cellular level at the proper wavelength. Gradually becoming more popular, this technique is being used in several treatment centers nationwide in limited numbers.

The Alexander Technique is a system of healing that teaches people how to stand and move in ways that are in harmony with the way the body is constructed. It focuses a great deal on posture, which is really central to the health of your spine. Someone trained in the Alexander Technique can show you how to sit, stand and walk in a more natural and relaxed manner, and this is one of the best ways to prevent back problems.

There's a remedy called capsaicin cream that many people aren't aware of, and this can help to give you relief from back pain. Capsaicin is the ingredient that makes chili peppers hot. You know that feeling when you take a big bite of spicy chili? How the flavor and heat explodes in your mouth? Well, the way chili feels to your taste buds is how capsaicin cream will feel to your back. Wonderful. . . When you apply capsaicin cream to your back, you will feel the heat. This is what causes your pain to go away and healing deep in your muscles to begin. It's a good idea for you, or whoever applies the cream, to wear a pair of disposable gloves to protect the hands. Capsaicin cream can often bring better results than the topical creams you can buy at a pharmacy and the nice thing about it is that it is a natural product. Many drugstores today do sell it, though, and you can also find it at health food stores or online.

Spinal adjustments are effective types of therapy that can help manipulate the position of your spine to provide pain relief. Your chiropractor can help you adjust your spine. You could also use an osteopath to get the same type of alignment procedure. You may hear your spine crackling as the chiropractor or osteopath realigns the vertebrae. This is actually okay and part of the process that you must go through. In some cases a single session can bring about tremendous relief, but sometimes it may take a series of appointments. It is important to have a practitioner that has experience, as well as a great reputation for helping people feel better. If you can, a personal recommendation is recommended. You probably have a few friends that have back problems, that currently use a chiropractor on a regular basis. You should try them out first. As you are struggling with back soreness, you may think it is never going to end. With a little rest and the right treatment, however, you can get past it and move on with your life. However, it is wise, to focus on what is the originator of your back afflictions, in order to prevent the anguish from it continually.
