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.

As the years have passed, acupuncture has made its way to become an established form of pain treatment. Acupuncture is recommended simply because it has produced results, specifically people have stated that their pain has diminished using this form of treatment. Your body has many energy points that can be manipulated. The Chinese discovered this thousands of years ago and created what is now called acupuncture. Some people are wary of it because it involves needles, but it's not like getting an injection, as the needles don't penetrate very far into the skin. A slight tingling sensation is about all you will feel as the needles are used. Most of the time, you can locate a qualified practitioner in your area that can help you.

Treatment centers can probably be found using the Internet or by asking your doctor about this device.

This isn't an instant cure if your back hurts right now, but it's something to consider for the long term health of your spine. Videos and information on the Alexander Technique, as well as trained practitioners of the method, can be found on the Internet. Just use a search engine to find this information.

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. The sensation you get on your taste buds when you eat a capsaicin loaded chili pepper is similar to the affect it has on your back when you rub the cream in. The heat the capsaicin cream releases is very therapeutic, even though you might feel a burning sensation at first. If you are applying it to yourself, or having someone else rub it on your back, be sure whoever is doing the applying wears disposable gloves as a protection for their hands. Capsaicin cream is, in general, more effective than other over-the-counter creams and ointments and has the benefit of being a natural product. Many drugstores today do sell it, though, and you can also find it at health food stores or online. Hopefully, by the end of this article, you will have several ideas that may help you with your back pain. People that are seeing a physician should definitely consult them about other alternatives that may provide more relief on a faster basis. You can also do some things on your own which includes changing your mattress, changing your diet, and doing some exercises.
