Noninvasive Therapies That Really Help
A number of other noninvasive therapies are also very helpful, though you may have to try several different approaches to find the one, or the combination, that works for you.
- Acupuncture has a 4,000-year-old track record of safety and efficacy in relieving back pain.
- Chiropractic manipulations restore spinal alignment, increase mobility, and decrease pain.
- Massage relaxes muscle strain and spasm, which are common causes of back pain.
- Biofeedback reduces muscle tension and pain perception.
- Physical therapy improves function and discomfort by strengthening the supporting musculature.
- Infrared light therapy increases circulation, promotes healing, and relieves pain.
- Electrical stimulation, such as microcurrent therapy, is one of the most popular therapies at the Whitaker Wellness Institute for relieving all types of pain.
