What alternative remedies are out there to treat chronic back pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lifestyle changes: Not smoking, weight control and regular exercise are the key ones. Modifying activity that aggravates the back, trying a back support and use of medication if not medically contraindicated can also make a difference. Physical therapy and injections through pain management may help. Most are treated non operatively. Chiropractic, massage & acupuncture are alternative ways for treatment as well.
