Top Natural Back Pain Remedies for Holistic Relief

MSM

MSM is amazing! Just start slowly! 1/4 of teaspoon or less and increase gradually.. I just started for low back pain after microdiscectomy 4 years ago and pain ever since they found osteophytes or bune spur and I'm sure inflammation and starting taking MSM. It's relieved my back pain. We need to start putting these doctors in jail for what they are doing to people and performing surgeries that were not necessary.

I had severe back pain to the point I couldn't move around in bed without pain in my lower back which was throughout my leg as well. I looked it up online and found it was sciatic nerve pain. I had numbness, weakness and serious sharp pain. I started taking around 6g of MSM and vitamin b complex. Praise be to God my pain has gone.

DMSO

Posted by Robert Henry (Ten Mile, Tn) on 08/26/2016

Finished the bottle of Canabis oil that Rsw and Timh recommended. Might have helped, but did not leave me pain free. Canceled my next ozone shots as they do not appear to be helping. My next issue is to change up my bed. I will put plywood on my mattress and a 1 1/2" memory foam over that.

Went to the farm today and planted part of our fall garden. I worked until I could not stand the back pain and then sat down for about 10 minutes and was good to go. That procedure is a mystery to me. If we have someone on EC that can explain this to me I will dance at their next wedding. It has to be a lumbar thing from my crushed T 12.

Taking our Rat Terrier pup to the farm and she is in P pore condition. Soon her tongue is as long as her ears trying to keep cool. Once back home she sacks out for the rest of the day. She is a hunting dog, but our daughter in law kept her for over a month and turned her into an A/C lap dog. Dogs need to be treated as dogs.

Head back to the farm tomorrow to finish planting our fall garden. Wish we could share our figs, apples, pears and muscadines with all you city slickers. Fall tomatoes are starting to ripen. Old tomatoes vines are dying. If you read what is going on down in Venezuela, then you will figure out how to grow a garden regardless of where you live. Freeze dryer to be delivered Monday. This device will allow us to keep fruit, meat, and veggies for 25 years. Life is fixing to get about as interesting as we can stand.

Magnesium

I have suffered from a bad back for at least 20 yrs. I have tried everything and not until recently has anything worked as well as Magnesium Oil. You spray it on you, anywhere you like, not even the hurting parts and instantly works. If you take Calcium you have to take Magnesium as one contracts and the other expands (forget which is which) but without the other you can feel pain, headaches etc. , They put Calcium in everything these days, OJ, Milk, etc. , so it is important to take either topically or orally extra Magnesium.

Castor Oil

I am so happy to have found this castor oil remedy that I wish I could get the WORLD on board with it!!!! After going to doctor's, chiropracters using exercise, yoga, stretching, motrin, muscle relaxers to boot; I finally have something that truly deals with the symptoms for an injured lower back which flares up from time to time as well as neck and shoulder soreness which leads to significant tightness and discomfort.

My symptoms have been significantly reduced and my painful days are few and far between and I do not even use the full castor oil pack method as right now I do not have a heating pad...I improvised with a warm wet rag and a microwaveable bean bag and I am feeling much, much better than I ever have before. Typically during my menstrual cycle I am plagued by a lower back throbbing and discomfort and this month it is very minimal if anything at all and this is amazing!!!!

I also tried it out for bruising and again it worked wonders on cutting down on bruise life as well as soreness, discoloration (most of my bruising lasts at least a week but with castor oil right away it's perhaps 2 days and with more time passing before I get to it perhaps around 3.5 days.....WOW!!!!

If I could I would bathe in castor oil each and every day!!!!

Copper

Posted by Magnolia16 (Virginia) on 10/27/2016

Just yesterday, there was an article in the Norfolk, Va newspaper about a major hospital using copper in their sheets and bedrails in some of their units to study the effects of lowering infections such as mrsa - before the results are completely studied, they reported a reduction in the infections.

Apple Cider Vinegar

Hi, maybe you might think I'm crazy, but I came onto your website just by browsing, out of sheer frustration. Two years ago I pulled neck muscles from lifting a heavy object. Finally I went to the doctor after months of suffering. He did tests and said I have degenerative arthritis in my 4-5-6 vertebra. Its been there along time with no problem, but he gave me a shot of cortisone. Ok it went away.

Now two weeks ago I again lifted something heavy like my grandchild and bingo - Ideveloped muscle spasms in my neck or pulled tendons-i don't know, but I refuse to go to the doctor. I don't like medications. The pain was unbearable. Because it activates my neck arthritis. So I came upon the site and i started taking apple cider and honey with grape juice. Also --soaking a rag in acv and putting it on my neck with a heating pad. Bingo - feels so much better. Can't believe it!

Apple Cider Vinegar

We use ACV for several different health benefits. ACV has become a part of our daily routine. I have a severe asthma, sinus & back pain. What it does the rest, is an extra benefit for us. We believe that it helps us tremendously.

We take 1 shot 1/2 hr before every meal. This takes care every health issues that we have. Sometimes we put some in our salad. It adds lots of flavor. For those who is overweight or maintaining your weight and want to each funk food. Taking 1 shot before each meal, is the way to go. ACV breaks down fattening food.

I have had chronic lower back pain for years and after taking AVC twice daily for a month I have noticed a drastic difference. I was restricted in activities and now I can do just about everything. While at the doctor's I also found out that my blood pressure dropped from 124/80 to 116/68. In January, 2006 I was diagnosed with acid reflux, which resulted with pills every day. Since taking the AVC I haven't had to take any medication for the acid reflux. I believe it has also helped with my allergies. This really is a miracle cure.

Dietary Changes

Diet may be Linked to Back Pain

I was having upper back pain, I saw my naturopathic doctor he told me that many patients have back pain, due to eating dairy products or processed food. If the pain in the upper back is on the left side it could be referred pain from the pancreas and if the pain in in the upper back on the right side it could be referred pain from the liver or gallbladder. He told me to change my diet for a few days, just cut out carbs. I ate chicken and fish and by the third day, and all the pain was gone. He did do a urinalysis to make sure it wasn't uti or kidney infection. Plan to see an MD to run tests on liver and gallbladder to be on the safe side.

Coconut Oil

Thanks for sharing your use of coconut oil for back pain. But recently I fell off the roof. I was having great difficulty standing because of the pain. About an hour after rubbing my lower back with coconut oil, I was able to stand for about two hours. I have put on a second application. I will try and remember a longer term view of this issue.

Stretching

Posted by Alex (Thessaloniki, Greece) on 07/08/2018
★★★★☆

I did the following stretch and exercise and truly increased me flexibility in order to touch my foot toes. The best thing is that if I sit on a chair for a long hour and then I stand up I feel my back annoying me and cannot fully stand up. By doing the following for 6 minutes it relieves my back almost completely. Maybe it also helps at an acute instance of back pain.

Water

I have been battling severe lower back pain for about 3-4 years. I have had X-rays, MRI's, PT, Pain Clinic treatments, chiropractors, massages and pain meds. Nothing helped. As of September 2017 both knees started hurting. I found Dr Batmanghelidj's book in a pile 6/8/18 I had bought years ago at a second-hand store. I started reading it and started drinking 64 ounces of water that day.

I am two days into this. I already have so much relief it is crazy. I am so blessed that over 90% of my pain is gone! I feel great! I am 54 and have seriously been wondering how I could endure this pain another 20 years. The last 3 years have been horrible. I feel so much better. I have been drinking 16 ounces from my nightstand as soon as I wake up. I have autoimmune hepatitis. I have also started the Keto diet the last few months and lost 25 pounds. Even that didn't help my back and knees. I am so excited about this. I have never liked water. Still don't. But if it gets rid of this pain, I can do it.

Thank you for reading. God is so awesome to have given Dr. B this knowledge.

Inversion Table Therapy

Posted by Marcia (Mi) on 01/25/2018

Per low back pain at L4.. your doctor and surgeons will all poopoo this idea, as practically none of them have ever tried one, but I got an inversion table, after a driver told me about his. he was in as bad of shape as I was, needing major surgeries on most discs, in lower, middle and upper back, along with his neck. they wanted to fuse all of them, which would have left him pretty much unable to do anything. he got an inversion table and started hanging on it twice a day for max. 10 minutes. within a year his discs were healed back to normal; he was not only pain free, but had gained back the 4 inches he had lost in height. and, he was back to work after years of being disabled. I got my table about 1 1/2 year ago, and was doing really good till I slacked off on the hanging, because I was feeling better. since getting back to my routine, I have figured out how to work out on my table as well, and am getting very much back in shape. make sure to get a good sturdy one, rated for 500 pounds, and it will last you a lifetime. of course you can buy a new one, but a heavy duty used one is more economical, and works just as well. I didn't believe it till I got my own. my doctor went out and bought one, after seeing my progress. best of luck.

DMSO

I have had 5 degenerative discs in my lower back for about 5 years. The Drs say go home and live with it Surgery is to dangerious. I have been taking corizone injections every three months, but they only last a short while.

My brother-in -law told me about DMSO and he had some on hand. I tried it by putting some on a peace of gauze and appling it to my lower back. I then covered it with saran wrap. After 24 hours the pain was gone and i did this twice a day for 4 days. Since then i only use it when i feel my back starting to hurt. This pain was also causing my right testicle to swell and was very painful. Since using DMSO, I now have relief again and the testicle has gone back to normal.

By the way I'm 79 years old.

Thankful for DMSO and my brother-in -law for telling me about it.

Oregano Oil

I discovered that oregano oil completely took away my back pain (which I should qualify is not chronic and only happens when I overdue things) on a long car trip. I happened to have a bottle of it with me as I had a cold and after taking a few drops under my tongue noticed that my back pain subsided almost immediately. I did the same today at home after three hours of heavy lifting and experienced the same relief. Worth a try! Blessings to all!
