Is your back Pain due to hours spent at a desk in front of a computer screen, working hard at the gym, or a past injury?

If you are suffering from backache, inflammation may be the real culprit. Go ahead and keep reading to learn more about effectively managing your back pain in a healthy, natural way.
Lower Back Pain
Lower back pain is a common health problem that affects nearly everyone at some time or another (2). It is estimated that 31 million Americans are suffering from lower back pain, regardless of any advice or treatment they receive (2).
But, for other people, lower back pain is debilitating! It becomes Chronic Pain when it persists for 12 weeks or longer (4). So, if you’ve been dealing with frustrating lower back pain for three months or more, you could be suffering from chronic pain and inflammation. Unfortunately, oftentimes chronic pain does not get better all on its own.
What Inflammatory Back Pain Feels Like
Inflammatory back pain is a condition that is characterized by painful inflammation of the sacroiliac joints (joints between two bones of the pelvis) and lower spine (5). The primary signs of inflammatory back pain include (5):
- Relatively young age at onset (usually before 40 years of age).
- Morning stiffness.
- Back pain present for at least 3 months or more.
- Pain eased by movement.
Anti-Inflammatory Diet To Manage Inflammation And Back Pain
There are many research-proven anti-inflammatory foods that have been shown to be helpful in managing chronic pain in the body. Some of these awesome foods are:
- Salmon (6)
- Bone broth (7)
- Dark chocolate (8)
- Garlic (9)
- Olive oil (10)
- Berries (11)
- Nuts (12)
- Onions (13)
- Bell pepper (14)
- Avocados (15)
- Pineapple (16)
- Broccoli (17)
Chances are you may already eat some of these foods regularly. If not, then the time has come to add these anti-inflammatory foods to your diet plan. Regular consumption of these foods may help you manage back pain caused by inflammation. Just imagine! You could eat some delicious, healthy foods and experience less pain!
Herbs And Dietary Supplements Can Manage Pain And Inflammation-
If you ask your doctor about chronic pain, their first response is to put you on medications, which may be opioids, or perhaps suggest excessive use of over-the-counter pills. Sometimes, this type of medical response has negative effects on a person who is already suffering. Unfortunately, this may be the first unnecessary step towards opioid dependency.
However, anti-inflammatory supplements may offer a natural alternative way to manage chronic pain, oftentimes as effective as their prescription counterparts (18). Herbs and dietary supplements are thought by many to offer a safer way (especially for long-term use) to manage pain (18).
A number of exciting, powerful herbs exist that have been known to help control pain and inflammation within the body. Here are just a few :
- Boswellia serrata (19)
- Yucca filamentosa (20)
- Harpagophytum procumbens (21)
- Humulus Iupulus (22)
- Trigonella foenum-graecum (23)
- Hyssopus officinalis (24)
- Zingiber officinale (25)
Now, you may be surprised by the number of foods available that can help you manage your chronic pain. Perhaps you’re wondering about how you could first find, then fit all of these powerful nutrients into your diet.
