Home cure for back pain

Back pain is a common complaint in women, especially post menopause. Leading a healthy lifestyle helps in preventing back pain. Proper posture also helps in averting back pain.


Excessive weight is on of the primary cause of back pain. The stress on the back muscles is high, thereby creating pain and inflammation. Improper lifting of weights or sudden movements or jerks contribute to back pain.


It can also be due to structural problems, such as arthritis, ruptures disks, osteoporosis, sciatica and skeletal irregularities. Placing a hot pack is helpful in relief due to ordinary causes. Bed rest is important. Over-the-counter drugs prove beneficial in providing instant relief. Take the guidance of a physiotherapist for exercises that will help your mother's condition. Injections of cortisone prevent inflammation. Botulinum toxin injection brings about great relief from back pain. Surgical procedures, such as partial removal of the vertebra or disk, fusion and disk replacement are also performed in chronic cases. Massage and acupuncture, by professionals are effective treatment techniques. Proper sleeping provides ease from pain. Placing a pillow between the legs also helps.
