Back pain can have a massive impact on lives and most people will suffer from back pain at least once in their lives, with lower back pain being the most common type of pain. The small of the back, known as the lumbar region, undergoes considerable stress when a person lifts or twists and can become sprained easily. Lower back pain, known as lumbago, makes movement painful and often sufferers are unable to work during these episodes.

What causes lower back pain?

Muscle strain – Straining a muscle in the back is a very common cause of lower back pain. This type of injury can occur as a result of the overuse of muscles and ligaments, whether this happens through work or sport. This type of injury also results from lifting or twisting awkwardly whilst lifting heavy objects. People often resort to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory creams to relieve pain. A more natural approach, which works rapidly, is the use of topical magnesium oil products such as Pure Magnesium Oil Spray. Magnesium Oil when applied directly to the skin quickly floods and bathes cells of the muscles and nerves helping to relax them, thus alleviating pain rapidly, often within a few minutes of application.  

Alternatively, simply use Healing Patches which are a convenient and natural way to ease all aches and pains. These small and discreet patches contain clove oil and Borneol to reduce soreness and inflammation.

Osteoarthritis – Recurrent lower back pain may be associated with the degeneration of the discs between joint tissues due to wear and tear. The result is more pressure on the spine leading to inflammation and lower back pain. Often non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are prescribed which are not without side effects that commonly cause gastrointestinal distress. A natural option would be to use Superior Joints which contains Natural Eggshell Membrane (NEM), a compound that has been shown to help alleviate pain rapidly without any side effects.

Slipped Disc – Pressure on the lower vertebrae can rupture or push one of the cushioning discs in the region. The result is that the cartilage is pushed towards the spinal cord nerves pressing against them causing intense pain.

Other reasons for lower back pain include fractures, fragility of the bones such as those associated with osteoporosis and spinal deformities.

Can antibiotics help with back pain?

Until recently, the causal factors for back pain were predominantly those outlined above. In a breakthrough discovery, scientists have shown that many cases of severe, long-term backache are caused by a previously unknown bacterial species that infiltrate the discs causing damage. It is estimated that nearly 40% of people suffering from lower back pain may have these bacteria and that using antibiotics may prove to be successful. Many people will simply not resort to this since antibiotic resistance is on the increase.

The best natural remedy for lower back pain

For these people there is an alternative to antibiotics, which is the use of Wild Oregano Oil C80. Oregano oil contains carvacrol, a potent ingredient with proven antifungal, anti-parasitic, anti-viral and antimicrobial properties. Oregano Oil has multiple benefits commonly employed to treat recurrent urinary tract infections, parasite infections and can even be used topically to cleanse wounds or alleviate muscle pain. Use four drops of Wild Oregano Oil three times a day for one month.

Antibiotics and antimicrobial herbs can disturb the ecosystem of the intestines resulting in stomach cramps, nausea and diarrhoea. Using a good probiotic supplement such as Mega Probio would be a good idea to help prevent these unwanted side effects.

An accurate diagnosis is important to ascertain the causes of lower back pain. However, as most people know, this is not always easy. If you feel that you have simply been taking anti-inflammatory drugs to alleviate the pain associated with lower back pain for a long time, and this is going to be ongoing for the rest of your life, then perhaps it is time to consider the use of Wild Oregano Oil.
