IN THIS EPISODE: “Why does my back hurt?” You are not alone in asking this question. I have experienced a lot of back pain and have had many kinds of treatment.

Do you have back pain even though you haven’t had a specific injury? While injuries certainly can cause a lot of back pain, there are a number of other causes as well.

And then I will tell you what you can do to treat those problems, as well as how to prevent them if you are not already experiencing back pain.

Standard medical treatments for back pain usually start with opioid drugs that are addictive. These drugs don’t address the cause and have so many negative effects. I don’t believe that is a good place to start. In this episode, I will tell you about many alternative treatments that really work, and why you should always try them before agreeing to standard treatments. If you do need surgery, there are some things you need to know and ask about first. Listen to this episode to learn more and start caring for your back.

Do you want pain relief without relying on opioid drugs? Many supplements and homeopathic remedies can help. In this episode, I’ll tell you about my favorites, and how to use them.
