There are many natural remedies to relieve back pain. There is no reason to suffer and no reason to consider surgery, in most cases. Natural remedies such as herbs, enzymes and acupuncture can be very effective to completely relieve your pain. There are several causes of back pain and each one requires a different remedy. If you slip a disc in your back, that is called a prolapsed disc. The disc slips a little and the area around the disc becomes inflamed. The nerves also become inflamed and irritated and this causes the muscles to go into spasm. You must remove the inflammation and calm the nerves down to relieve the spasm. Remedies such as bromelain and glucosamine sulfate have been used successfully for years to relieve slipped or bulging disc pain with no bad side effects.
