Back Pain Relief? HELP!?
Hi, my mom has had lower back pain for about 20 years.
She's gone through everything, including acupuncture and seeing a chiropractor/specialists... they make her take some meds, but there is still some pain.
She's lately tried using a new method of back pain relief by getting someone to lightly hit her back with the bottom of the hands (i.e. the bottom part of the hand when you're doing the thumbs-up sign).
Supposedly, this gives pain relief for a while... but what I'm concerned about is if it will make things WORSE in the long-run. For example, will doing this permanently damage the back muscles/spine, etc.
Can I get some feedback on this 'method' ?
She developed chronic back pain during pregnancy...
And no, she hasn't had anything surgical/injected...
And please focus about this method too! thanks!

1. Cranial Sacral therapy helped me a lot with back pain. No more chiropractors!Google the Upledger institute.
2. I guess it depends on why her back is hurting. Did she have some kind of injury? Has she seen an orthopedic surgeon? Has she had the nerve block injections? The injections only relieve pain for a couple of months. She might benefit from surgery. I dont think that what she is doing sound so threatening but If I were her I would see a Dr. and ask for an MRI to be done, and let the Dr. know of her new method.
3. I don't know what it is called but I head on TV the other day about this new product that is like $300 where you hand yourself upside down for like 20 min a day and it relines your back and makes backpain go away and something about they have been doing in the army for years

.I use Carisoprodol (Soma) for the back pain I suffer from. It works great and it is available online without a prior perscription at BuyCarisoprodolOnline.Com.
