Backache is the common malady of our times. Sometimes, it is self-inflicted due to a lifetime of bad posture while sitting or standing. Or, it could be due to accidents, muscle sprains, or sports injuries. One of the main causes of back pain (chronic/ acute) is lower back strain. And, mild or severe lower back pain is called lumbago. Nighttime backache indicates some serious problems with your spine.

Symptoms of Backache include

• Persistent pain from the base of the neck to the tail bone
• Piercing local pain in the neck, upper or lower back after strenuous activity
• Chronic pain in the middle or lower back after extended sitting or standing
• Radiating back pain from the lower back to the buttock, down the back of the thigh and into the calf and toes
• Inability to stand without pain or muscle spasms in the lower back

Note:

Backache may also be caused due to kidney stones, disease or damage of pelvic organs, and many other reasons. It is advised that the patient get a thorough evaluation first.
Treatment includes taking painkillers, back exercise, chiropractic care, and in some cases surgery. Homeopathic remedies for back pain provide an absolute safe and natural treatment as against harmful painkillers. The key homeopathic remedy for backache, acute or chronic, in the homeopathic cornucopia, is Rhus Tox if the symptoms agree. Remember, homeopathic remedies take account of the general symptoms as well as the individual’s constitutional condition. Again, any remedy should be done in consultation with a certified homeopathic practitioner.
