Backache homeopathic remedies

Back Pain – Homeopathy Treatment & Homeopathic Remedies#Rhus toxicodendron [Rhus.t] A violent pain in the back, as if broken, is the greatest characteristic of Rhus in the back pain. It is more characteristic than the symptom “relief from motion,” for Rhus may be indicated where the patient is worse from motion. Rhus seems to be especially suitable to affections of the deeper muscles of the back. There are great pains,dull,bruised, and aching on attempting to rise, showing,thus, the aggravation on commencing motion. It is more suitable to the chronic forms of lumbago, while Aconite suits the acute forms, and will often times give prompt relief. Baehr prefers Tartar emetic even to Rhus and Arnica in lumbago. The back pain of Rhus is better from pressure, but worse in bed. The Rhus patient likes to lie on sometime hard. Natrum muriaticum has this same symptom–back pain relieved by lying on something on hard. The Rhus pains are relieved by bending backwards. Sulphur has lumbar pains, with sudden loss of power to move; worse before a storm, reminding of Rhododendron. Petroleum and Ruta have pains in the back in the morning before rising. In Staphisagria these pains compel the patient to get up early and move about. This symptom is found also under Kali carbonicum; it comes on about 3 A.M., and is accompanied by pains shooting down the buttocks. Ledum has a stiffness in the back, similar to that experienced when one sits still for a long time. Hypericum has aching in small of back and stitches, and is especially useful in women who are forced to lift and strain and go up and down stairs frequently. Bryonia. Suits a lumbago of a quiet type, with great aggravation on moving. Gnaphalium will sometimes cure a chronic back pain, a tired aching in the lumbar region that saps one’s strength and ambition. Worse from continued motion, better resting, especially on the back. The more chronic the back pain the better indicated the remedy.#Calcarea fluorica [Calc.f] This remedy has quite a clinical reputation for curing back pain, and especially the back pain simulating spinal irritation. It has pain in the lower part of the back, with a fullness or burning pain. Lumbago worse on beginning go move and relieved by continued motion, or lumbago from stains, will find in Calcarea fluorica its remedy when Rhus fails. The temperament and general constitutional characteristics of Calcarea may be present. It also follows Rhus well. Kali phosphoricum, another of the tissue remedies, has a rheumatic lameness worse after rest, and on just commencing to move; there is a paralytic tendency, worse on rising from sitting position. Some remedies have a back pain worse from sitting, notably Cobalt, Zincum, Sepia, and Cannabis Indica. Lumbago worse when first beginning to move may call for Anacardium or Conium, as well as for Rhus.
