Ice Therapy – Ice should be your first choice of the arthritis natural cures. Ice can bring quick relief of pain and inflammation. Ice reduces swelling and provides fast arthritis pain relief.

Heat Therapy – Heating pads can send soothing heat deep into your back tissues to reduce inflammation and give you relief from arthritis pain.

Back Brace – Braces will limit painful motion while at the same time giving you the support you need to be able to be up and around and getting the exercise you need for arthritis pain relief.

Back Support Pillow – Back support pillows will give you the support you need while sitting or driving to maintain a healthy, pain free, posture.

Pain Relief Gel –This is another of the great arthritis natural cures. Pain gels, such as biofreeze and mineral ice, are conservative arthritis pain relief methods that can work as well as prescription medication. The gels contain natural plant extracts that have been used for pain relief for centuries.

TENS Therapy -TENS Therapy is very effective at pain relief. TENS stimulation sends out weak electrical signals that block pain. A small portable TENS unit can be worn on your belt and used as often as you need it throughout the day.

Chiropractic – Chiropractic care is an excellent arthritis natural cure. Chiropractic provides relief from the pain of arthritis by restoring normal motion to the areas of your back that have become stuck and painful due to the degenerative changes of arthritis.

Trigger Point Therapy – Trigger points are painful areas in muscles that can contribute to the pain of arthritis in the spine. Trigger point therapy can bring your back relief by taking pressure off the muscles that surround the joints inflamed with arthritis.

Inversion Therapy – Inversion therapy takes the pressure of gravity off your back. It stretches tight back muscles, improves back flexibility, and can even correct minor spinal misalignments to give you relief from pain that may be caused by arthritis in your back.

Firm mattress - Sleeping on a firm mattress can do wonders in relieving backaches. The extra support of a firm mattress will certainly help your painful arthritic back condition.

Proper Footwear – It is a well known fact that foot problems such as flat feet, can lead to knee, hip, and back problems. Footwear that gives the foot proper support is one of the pieces of the back pain relief puzzle.

Yoga for low back pain is a simple, inexpensive, and effective treatment that you might not have considered. Yoga works well for back pain relief because yoga gives you a balance of improved flexibility and strength in the muscles of your body which support your spine and are often the cause of your back pain.

Cervical Support Pillow This may not seem like a treatment for arthritis but the nerves to your upper, middle, and lower back pass through your cervical spine. If your head and neck are not properly supported while you sleep you will slip into an unhealthy posture that will lead to a number of painful conditions, and will aggravate any problem you already have.

Exercise – If you are not already participating in a regular exercise program it is time to get started. Exercise will increase flexibility of the arthritic joints and will strengthen the back and abdominal muscles.

Herbal Remedies – There are a large number of herbs that have been used for centuries to relieve pain. Many medical professionals today continue to use herbs for arthritis pain relief because they work so well.

Acupuncture – Acupuncture uses tiny needles inserted into specific points on your body to balance your energy flow. Acupuncture has been used successfully for relief of back pain from arthritis.

Massage Therapy – Massage is a hands-on therapy that relaxes tight muscles by kneading or stroking techniques that are affective at providing back pain relief in patients with arthritis.

Homeopathy – Some medical professionals use homeopathic remedies (dilute preparations) to provide relief from arthritis in the spine.

Physical Therapy – Physical therapy is a healthcare profession that also focuses on the muscles and joints in order to restore as much function as possible to a patient. They may use ice, heat, ultra-sound, stretching and strengthening exercises to bring about back-pain relief.

Naturopathy – Naturopathy is an alternative medical system that focuses on diet and nutrition, lifestyle, and herbs to bring about healthy changes such as relief from arthritis in the spine.

Medication – If your back pain is more than you can stand and the conservative treatments above have not given you the relief you need fast enough, medication may be an option. Many times, over the counter medications are effective at bringing relief. If not, you may need to see your medical doctor for stronger narcotic pain medication, at least until the pain is under control.

Spinal Injections – In severe cases of back pain, epidural steroid injections may be needed to calm down an inflamed nerve root.

Back Surgery – Sometimes the degenerative changes associated with arthritis in the back put pressure on the spine or spinal nerve roots. Surgery can take the pressure off in these severe cases.

As you can see, there are many arthritis natural cures to choose from. I recommend trying the more conservative methods before drugs or surgery which have riskier side effects.
