How to Finally Stop Low Back Pain
Low back pain, according to the National Institutes of Health, afflicts 31 million people. The American Chiropractic Association recently published 5 interesting facts: • 50% of Americans admit to having low back pain each year. • It’s one of the most common reasons for missed work. • Most cases are mechanical in nature. • The US spends $50 billion each year on low back pain. • 80% of the population will experience a back problem. Traditional medicine has failed miserably to effectively treat and resolve low back pain. Prescription drugs only mask the pain and surgery just doesn’t work. Millions of Americans are simply left to suffer. But there is hope! A recent review of three alternative therapies, conducted at the Oregon Health and Science University, revealed some promising results. Here’s a summary of the review:

Prolotherapy Prolotherapy is a simple, natural technique that stimulates the body to repair damaged joints and connective tissues. A pro-inflammatory substance is injected into the affected area, which leads to local inflammation. The localized inflammation triggers a wound healing cascade, resulting in the deposition of new collagen, the material that ligaments and tendons are made of. Prolotherapy has the potential of being 100% effective at stopping low back pain. Supplements for Reducing Low Back Pain Chronic use of prescription pain-killers for low back pain is dangerous and not very effective. Instead, try supplementing with the following nutrients for controlling the pain. • 5-Loxin (an extract from the Boswellia plant) -- 75 mg/day • Tart Cherry Extract -- 1500 mg/day • White Willow bark (nature’s aspirin) -200 mg/day
