Why Drug-Free Back Pain Relief Is Better?
Chronic back pain is persistent, long-lasting discomfort that doesn't resolve itself or respond to routine back pain relief methods. Clearly, despite their arsenal of elaborate and costly hi-tech medical procedures, doctors cannot diagnose how to stop this growing national health emergency. Today more than 150 million Americans suffer chronic pain. This amounts to a whopping 100% increase in just a dozen years! How is it possible, with our modern scientific mainstream medicine, that people are suffering more, not less? When it comes to back pain relief, most people turn first to their medicine cabinet and have more than one pain reliever on hand to choose from. It's as if while we were children we hopped aboard the NSAID Train, and the pain relief destination was never reached. There are so many options along the way... and yet none of them are healthy. Let's look at why. Acetaminophen
While acetaminophen (Tylenol) offers temporary back pain relief and fever reduction, it does not reduce swelling (inflammation). It can be harmful to the liver and kidney if you take more than the recommended dose. Non-Steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) Yes, NSAID's work fast to relieve acute pain, but they may cause gastrointestinal bleeding. They may also be harmful if you have high blood pressure or kidney disease. And they should NEVER be given to children. Aspirin has been associated with a disease called Reye's syndrome in children. COX-2 Inhibitors Yes, though these work as well as NSAIDs while being less harsh on the stomach, but numerous reports of heart attacks and stroke have prompted the FDA to re-evaluate the risks and benefits of the COX-2s. COX-2 drugs such as Vioxx and Celebrex were actually taken off the market because of these risks. Narcotics Painkillers This class of prescription drugs is powerful, but abuse and addiction are serious side effects. An estimated 20 percent of people in the United States have used prescription drugs for non-medical reasons. The problem is serious and it is growing. The availability of drugs is probably one reason. Doctors are prescribing more drugs for more health problems than ever before. Online pharmacies make it easy to get prescription drugs without a prescription, even for youngsters. When experiencing pain and deciding whether or not to reach for OTC or RX drugs, remember that pain is not the biggest problem. The biggest problem is...Drugs Don't Heal! If you are still in pain from a recent injury, or are suffering chronic pain, then you know the Golden Rule of Pain: Drugs don't fix the problem, they only mask the symptoms. And pain is a symptom, not the problem. Back pain relief medications should only be used temporarily, if needed. The more natural and preventive approach is to understand the pain problem, and take proactive approaches to relieving pain and preventing new pain. And there are so many options for pill-free pain relief to choose from. There is none better than healthy lifestyle choices. Permanent Back Pain Relief Is In Lifestyle Choices
Natural, lasting drug-free back pain relief is based on wide reaching lifestyle changes. Simple changes can go a long way to reducing and preventing pain from your life. Here are some tips. Maintain a healthy weight There is no question that eating healthy is not easy nowadays, whether you're at home or at a restaurant. But at the very least, you must try to decrease your intake of sugars and hydrogenated oils and increase your daily intake of fiber. Ideally, you should be consuming 35 grams of fiber (that is a ton of fiber, but it's worth shooting for).

Try This No Excuse Workout Manual therapies aid relief Manual therapies, such as massage, chiropractic and other forms of bodywork can do wonders for keeping the body supple, stretched, relaxed, and pain free. The removal or diminishing of trigger points and spasms and the increase in blood flow which brings nutrients and oxygen to painful areas... is like a wonder drug in itself. Seek alternative practitioners
When your lifestyle changes have done as much as they can to reduce your pain, it may be time to see a practitioner of alternative therapies. There are so many great methods to choose from, including acupuncture, Emotional Field Therapy, Rolfing, Alexander Technique, Sedona Method, etc. It is best to do some research into your individual heal issues and seek out a holistic healing method and practitioner that meets your needs. Research and consultations go a long way to helping you decide. In the end, what is important is that you give up your reliance on prescription and over-the-counter pain drugs. They do more long-term harm than short-term good, and should only be used in emergencies. Making the necessary and correct lifestyle changes will do much more to provide lasting pain relief, but putting you into a life of prevention... which is always the best medicine!
