7 Ways To Naturally Relieve Back Pain

relieve back pain

Lower back pain? You’re not alone. According to a 2013 Mayo Clinic study, back pain sends more Americans to the doctor annually than any other ailment.

Whether you’re experiencing pain related to past epidurals (like myself), recovering from an injury, neglecting to stretch prior to training or simply feeling “your age,” taking a few ibuprofen (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug) to the head isn’t the end all for relief. In fact, experts have approved countless natural remedies to alleviate pain.

Here are some top picks:

1. Have an anti-inflammatory drink

When you consume anti-inflammatory foods and drinks regularly, several antioxidants, anti-inflammatory, and even anti-cancer agents can build up in your blood. These agents can reduce, and possibly even eliminate inflammatory reactions in the body.
