This post is really just a link to a page on the fox news website, where an article by Christine Mattheis details 15 of the best expert-approved natural back remedies that anyone with back problems can try.
I have covered some of these in detail in previous posts, but there may be one or two that some of us haven't tried, so check it out here and maybe find something that helps you.

Now Could be The Time to Try Accupuncture For Your Back Pain
I say this because this week here in UK is National Accupuncture Week, and I'm betting there will be some deals going to get you to try this treatment.
You can read an article here from the Sutton Coldfield Observer about a particular case study of a lady having accupuncture for her bad back with good results.
I won't go into the ins and outs here as I'm thinking most readers of this blog will be familiar with accupuncture, even if you haven't tried it.
I have tried it myself, with pretty convincing results, although they didn't last long with me. Everyone is different.
As I say, with this being National Accupuncture Week, now could be the time to give it a go at the right price.

Stomach Fat Could Fix Your Chronic Back Pain
There, I always thought a bit of a paunch can't be too bad. An article by Roger Dobson on the Daily Mail website tells the story of a new treatment for chronic back pain involving injecting a patients stomach fat into spinal discs.
Sounds interesting, and as damaged discs are apparently a major cause of chronic back pain, could prove to be a valuable treatment. It is already showing great promise.
Stomach fat contains stem cells, which we have all heard much about in recent years. So the basic principle is to inject this fat into damaged discs, and the stem cells then get to work repairing the damaged areas.
The fat is harvested by liposuction, so I suppose there is an added benefit of losing a bit of belly fat, although only about a fifth of a pint is needed for this procedure, taking about 20 minutes.
So far this is just a clinical trial, being tested on 100 chronic back patients in the good old USA. Definitive results will be a while in coming but looking good so far.
