How to Treat Back Pain Holistically
If you learn how to treat back pain using an holistic (whole of you) approach, you are much more likely to achieve the best and lasting results.
That should be the best way for any area of health concern.
Sadly it isn't.
Quick fixes, that tend to quickly cover over the symptoms, seem to be the most common approach.
The cry seems to be 'get rid of it', at any cost.
Even if the quick fix jeopardizes your long term health which, in many cases it does.
The better approach is to take heed of the timing of the malady.
Too bad you consider it bad timing.
Your body doesn't.
And your body will make you take heed eventually.
So you might as well save time and start now.
Learning how to treat back pain must begin which what was the cause.
Sometimes it's from over lifting.
Sometimes it's from an injury or accident.
Sometimes there doesn't seem to be a cause, it just suddenly appeared.
Then you need to know where the problem lies.
Is it nerve, muscle or bone pain? Then you need to consider your unique symptoms.
Is the pain worse for the slightest movement? It it stiff rather than painful? What is the character of the pain - is it a stabbing pain or a burning pain, for example? What about the modalities; the natural things that make it better or worse, such as heat or cold applications, the time of day.
When dealing with any pain, you have probably been taking pain killers.
Take into consideration that they will mask your real symptoms.
So it may be best to stop taking them long enough to get a glimpse of your real symptoms, rather than just referring to the pain.

Nux vomica is a very tense medicine.
You have tension in your muscles or organs anywhere in your body.
This can lead to twitches, spasms and inflammation.
And it's the tense muscles in your back that produces the pain.
Mentally, emotionally you're tense.
Tense in mind and body.
If your symptoms match, you will get improvement by the relaxing of the tension.
