Alternative & Self Care
Besides treatment provided by a doctor and self-care steps taken at home, some people have turned to complementary and alternative therapies for relief of back pain.
Chiropractic care
Back pain is one of the most common reasons that people see a chiropractor. If you're considering chiropractic care, talk to your doctor about the most appropriate specialist for your type of problem. In addition to chiropractors, many osteopathic doctors and some physical therapists have training in spinal manipulation.
Acupuncture
Some people with low pack pain report that acupuncture helps relieve their symptoms. The National Institutes of Health has found that acupuncture can be an effective treatment for some types of chronic pain. In acupuncture, the practitioner inserts sterilized stainless steel needles into the skin at specific points on the body. Acupuncture is thought to stimulate your central nervous system to release the body's natural pain-relieving endorphins. Acupuncture may also alter how your blood pressure, blood flow and body temperature are regulated and respond to pain.
