Backache is one of the commonest complaints in adult life. Poor posture, prolonged sitting, muscular strain, disc problems, spondylosis and osteoporosis are frequent causes.
Common signs
- Dull ache or sharp pain in the lower or upper back
- Stiffness on rising in the morning
- Pain radiating to the hip or leg (sciatica)
- Pain worse on bending, lifting or sitting long
How homoeopathy approaches it
Rather than suppressing the symptom alone, a homoeopathic physician studies the whole person — the pattern of complaints, what makes them better or worse, general health, temperament and history — and selects a remedy that matches that individual picture. Treatment aims to raise the body’s own resistance so that relief is lasting and relapses become fewer. Posture correction, gentle exercise and weight management are advised along with treatment.
