Back pain: To treat your back pain properly, you need to understand the cause of it. Generally chronic back pain responds best to warmth. You might also consider a topical anti inflammatory. You can obtain some over the counter and some by prescription. Exercises by physiotherapist and massage therapy may help. See your doctor to determine the cause. All the best.
