9/29 15:58:28
Medicines are not the only solution to back pain. You can fight back pain without subjecting your body to harmful drugs using body work. Body work refers to Complementary and Alternative Medicine, also known as CAM. CAM or body work includes treatment practices that are not covered within the realm of conventional treatment methods.

Body work or CAM offers a safe back pain treatment. Unlike prescription drugs or over the counter medicines, they do not cause any side effects. However, their major drawback is that they take a long time to deliver the desired results. Ideally, back pain sufferers do not have all the patience to bear with the pain and the length of the treatment.

Also, such alternative treatment methods do not work for all back pain cases. They are particularly of less help or value in case of severe back pain.

Here are some treatment options that fall within the category of Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM).

Chiropractic manipulations
This alternative treatment is centered around the process of manipulating the spine. This treatment has shown to be highly effective and works for even severe cases of back pain. Though chiropractic manipulations are safe, there may be some situations where the practice may be dangerous for the body. Patients who have neurologic symptoms associated with back pain should not go in for spinal manipulations without the prior consultation of a doctor.

Acupuncture
Acupuncture involves the process of inserting needles at specific points to alleviate pain. This form of alternative treatment can be of great help if you have frequent pain. Acupuncture works for most types of back pain. It is advised that you use acupuncture only under the surveillance of a medical expert or a health care professional.

Massage
If you have mild to moderate forms of back pain, then a massage can provide great relief. Massage offers relief from numerous symptoms that are associated with back pain. In addition, it also relaxes the entire body. The best part about using massage as a back pain treatment is that it is safe and does not cause any side effects. However, a downside to this treatment is that results offered do not last for long.

Cayenne pepper
This substance is known to reduce the pain associated with peripheral neuropathy. Cayenne pepper is applied topically on the affected area to experience relief. While this substance works to treat back pain, it may cause burning for several days on application. You must use this for at least a week on a regular basis to obtain full effect.

Try these simple and natural methods and you may be able to get rid of back pain successfully.
