HOMEOPATHY AND BACKACHE Backache is one of the
most common problem which probably all of us have faced at one time or
the other.However, it needs attention when it occurs repeatedly or continues
for days together. At times, a sudden backache could occur due to
a hard day at work or a faulty posture while sitting or in sleep.This
pain although quite bad is usually bearable & the movements though
painful are not very restricted.These pains are nothing but muscle strains
or spasms & subside within a day or two.Occasionally, a sudden back
pain could occur due to a slipped disc.This pain is very
severe & diagnosis is confirmed on X-ray.It needs bed rest for a couple
of days or weeks.However,what we will discuss here are causes &
treatment of a persistent or recurring backache. Firstly, in all
cases of a persistent or recurring
backache, an X-ray should be taken to rule out serious causes
like tuberculosis of the spine, ankylosing spondylosis, kidney stones,
gall bladder stones etc. Some of these are dealt with in the surgical
section & are beyond the scope of discussion here.Once these have
been ruled out, the other causes could be spondylosis (as
discussed above ) strain of ligaments, faulty postures, calcium
deficiency, prolonged hours of physical inactivity, anxiety & depression.In
treatment correction of faulty postures, sleeping on a hard
bed or putting a wooden board under
a firm mattress, hot fomentation, regular exercises, using chairs with
adequate backrest, calcium supplements
in cases of calcium deficiency & physiotherapy are helpful along with
homeopathic medicines.
Commonly used homeopathic medicines / remedies for backache are:s Arnica, Bellis per, Bryonia, Cobaltum, causticum, Calcarea fluor, Rhus tox, Ruta, Rhododendron, mag phos etc. |
