What causes it?
Back pain may be the result of injury, or disease such as arthritis, spinal stenosis, or fibromyalgia. Degeneration, herniation, or rupture of the discs between vertebrae, and poor spinal alignment can trigger back pain, too.

Sometimes X-rays, CAT scans, MRIs, and blood tests fail to pinpoint the precise cause of the pain, especially if it relates to strained muscles resulting from strenuous activity.
Doctors characterize back pain in one of two ways: acute or chronic. The more common, acute back pain typically lasts not more than six to eight weeks and involves a sudden, intermittent, stinging pain in a localized area of the back. More serious, chronic back pain can continue for months and usually affects the lower area of the back and sometimes the legs.
Are there natural cures for back pain?
Yes. Among the many beneficial natural remedies which aid in treating back pain are:
GARLIC OIL used for massage. To utilize it most effectively: Put ten small pieces of garlic in a pan, add coconut, sesame or mustard oil, and fry the garlic pieces over a low flame until brown. Let cool, then strain, and massage the oil mixture onto the back, leaving it for three or four hours before rinsing.
HERBAL TEAS such as chamomile, St. John's wort, borage, lemon balm, and valerian are known to have a calming effect on strained muscles as well. Drink one to two cups of tea containing any of these herbs on a daily basis for maximum results.
HEATING PADS AND ICE PACKS, applied alternately to the back, can relieve painful spasms. Begin with a cold treatment (careful not to apply ice directly to the skin) for as long as the spasm persists. Then, apply a heating pad for no more than twenty minutes at a time to loosen tight muscles.
