Alternative Methods For Lower Back Pain

Alternative Methods For Lower Back Pain

For years medications including pain relievers, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and muscle relaxants were a standard part of initial back pain treatment. A recent study released in February 2017 has urged medical doctors to change their approach to back pain. The American College of Physicians has come out with new guidelines for the treatment of low back pain based upon a review of more than 150 studies. The findings of the reviews shows that medications tend to have only temporary and modest benefits to relieving back pain. So it does make sense to try something different as far as treatment for back pain lasting less than 12 weeks it is recommended that spinal manipulation, such as:

  • Chiropractic care
  • Heat
  • Acupuncture
  • Massage

Have lasting affects in alleviating back pain. For back pain lasting longer than 12 weeks exercise therapy, including stretching, balance improvement, and strengthening core muscles have been helpful.

  • Chiropractic Care
  • Physical Therapy
  • Mindful Based Programs intended to cope with stress and chronic pain

If the pain persists with non-resolution additional tests such as x-rays or MRI scans would be a helpful tool in further evaluating your condition. Typically, 99 percent or more of people with low back pain do not have serious causes. But to help make sure that your back pain isn't a more serious condition the following red flags should be considered:

  • Diagnosed with Cancer
  • Unexplained Weight loss
  • Abnormal Immune System
  • Have had recent fever
  • Recent significant injuries such as fall or car accident
  • Bowel or Bladder Incontinence
