Old and New Treatments For Back Pain

By James Steele


Do you have back pain? You would probably be prepared to take virtually anything that could help make you feel better. Sometimes, if it is bad enough, back pain can prevent you from doing your job or just sitting at home can be tough. 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.

Back pain responds well to heat and you can find different ways to bring the therapeutic value of heat to your pain. The simplest method is to use a heating pad or hot water bottle. When you apply one of these methods to the pain, the relief can be immediate. You don't want to make these so hot that they scald your skin, but hot enough it gets through to your muscles and tissues. The combination of massage and heat is wonderful for back pain. Your back will feel better faster if you can get a massage. Aside from heating pads, rubbing therapeutic ointments into your back can relieve pain as well. Many massage therapists can offer you several options, such as essential oils, heat, and creams or ointments.

Stress management is an important factor to consider, especially in regard to back pain that you feel. According to many health professionals, medical problems like back pain may be the result of stress in your life. Your muscles will tense if you are stressed, something you may not realize, and this can have an adverse effect on your back. It also affects your posture and the way you walk. Stress levels can actually be reduced by participating in activities that you actually want to do. This might be hiking with some friends or swimming at the lake. Whether stress is the actual cause of your back pain or not, it can make it more difficult to heal. The other side of the coin is, the more you're able to relax, the faster you can overcome something like back pain.

One cream that is a natural alternative and very efficacious for relieving back pain is called capsaicin cream. Many people haven't heard about this cream but it's very good at relieving back pain. Capsaicin is the ingredient that makes chili peppers hot. When this cream is applied to your back, you can feel the heat the same way you experience the hotness of chili peppers on your tongue when you eat a spicy food. You may feel a burning sensation when it's first applied, but that "heat" is wonderful for relieving your back pain. It's a good idea to wear disposable gloves to protect your hands whenever you, or someone else, rubs in the capsaicin cream. 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. You can purchase capsaicin cream online or locally, at your drugstore or pharmacy.

In order to get your back feeling better than ever, it will usually be a combination of a lifestyle change, a medical prescription, and visiting a physical therapist. To get relief from back pain, it will be a long journey, which may include trying different treatments simultaneously. In the end, you will feel much better.
