Natural Supplement Treatments for Back Pain
By Brennan Howe
There are a number of different ways you can treat your naturally: vitamins, minerals, herbs, nutrition, and homeopathy medicine.  Some will help heal your and others are dangerous, so it’s best to consult with a physician or nurse practitioner before taking anything and never, ever exceed recommended dosages.  The FDA has no control over natural supplements, so it does not recommend them.

That doesn’t mean, though, that all supplements are bad.  Some medications turn out to be unsafe, too, despite rigorous trials and testing.  The bottom line is to research every product you consider taking and make sure you get supplements from a reputable source, like a health food store.  Everybody’s chemistry is different and reacts differently, so if you are considering taking a supplement equivalent to a pharmaceutical, you may still have some side effects.

There are many natural supplements that can be found in supermarkets and drug stores.  You may have to check health food stores for more obscure supplements.  Like any kind of medication that you buy over the counter, you’ll have a choice between the store brand and name brands.  Store brands are perfectly safe to use and are less expensive because you don’t have to pay for advertising.  You can also buy supplements over the internet, but you should be sure you buy from a reputable source so you know exactly what you are getting.  Do some research and ask around to find out which online suppliers are the best and most reputable.

Listed below are some natural supplement treatments that have been shown to help alleviate back pain.  When dosages are listed, you should know that if you are particularly thin or heavy, you should consult an expert before taking the supplement.  And remember, natural supplements will not relieve pain immediately, but have to be taken for weeks or sometimes even months before you see results.
