Severe Chronic Back Pain - Natural Treatments and Pain Relief

Back pain affects nearly everyone at some point in their lives. Statistics show nearly 90% of Americans will experience back pain in their lives. Not surprisingly, back pain is the fifth most common reason for doctor visits.

Back pain results from a wide range of causes, whether it be simple everyday activities or specific conditions like sciatica or spinal stenosis. Likewise, there is a wide range of back pain treatments and back pain cures.
Traditional treatments include drugs and surgery. But people suffering from back pain are increasingly searching out alternative remedies. Fortunately, alternative treatment options for any type of severe chronic back pain are numerous.

"Among the most popular forms of alternative treatment for back pain is heat therapy."

Natural Remedies for Back Pain

As is the case with most medical conditions, there are many alternative options for severe back pain treatment.

Hands-on approaches for back pain include acupuncture and massage. Acupuncture has been proven to help relieve acute and chronic back pain. One study found that acupuncture offered better results than standard care such as medications or physical therapy.
More extreme alternative therapies include spinal manipulation, spinal decompression therapy, Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS), prolotherapy, and inversion therapy. These approaches to back pain treatment should be well researched before being used.

Cognitive behavioral therapy is another alternative treatment approach, recognizing the frequent connection between back pain symptoms and emotional stress and other mental health conditions.

Heat Therapy

Among the most popular forms of alternative treatment for back pain is heat therapy. Heat therapy comes in the form of heating pads, heat wraps, hot baths, warm gel packs, etc. Heat therapy is a relatively inexpensive treatment for back pain with few if any side effects.

The BioMat mattress is another heat therapy option. Along with ionization and amethyst healing therapies, the seventeen layer BioMat mattress includes two layers of Far Infrared Rays (FIR) technology, which has been shown to relieve pain from severe back problems.

Far Infrared Rays are low-impact heat waves that penetrate up to six inches into the body. They are renowned for instigating healthy cell growth and improving circulation, both of which are highly beneficial to curing severe back pain.
