Ways to Keep Your Back Healthy
Here are a few simple ways to maintain a healthy back and live a pain-free life:
- Use the right pillow and mattress to ensure that your spine is properly aligned and supported while you sleep.
- Choose good shoes as they not only protect your feet but also provide a base that supports the proper alignment of your spine as well as your entire body.
- Always make sure that your posture is straight especially while you are sitting and invest in a comfortable chair that provides your spine with the support it needs to prevent backaches.
- Exercise your back and abdominal area on a regular basis to ensure that additional stress is not put on your spine to support your body.
The main causes of back pain include the following:
- Strain

- Bulging discs

- Cauda Equina Syndrome
- Abnormal spinal curve
- Osteoporosis

Homeopathic Treatments for Back Pain
Homeopathic treatment should be individualized to the precise mechanism, sensory awareness and symptoms of every specific case. Generic prescriptions of homeopathic medicines are rarely helpful in these situations and cause the mix up that homeopathy is small over placebo. Furthermore, what makes homeopathy unique is the customized treatment. No two patients receive the same treatment even if both are suffering from back pain. This is because the homeopath treats a patient holistically, taking into account the patient’s lifestyle, habits, sleeping patterns and dietary intake.
Homeopathy believes in getting to the root of the problem. And, the main cause for backache can vary from person to person. While in some people, it could be due to poor posture, in others it could be due to sciatica. Hence, the homeopathy treatment for such individuals varies.
You do not need to take strong pain medications for your back pain, when there are effective homeopathic treatments that are safe and free of side effects.
