Treatment for PMS back pain is about all you can think of when you have intense menstrual back pain or even dull pain for that matter. Here are 5 tips that can save you from such misery:
1. Did You Get Out the Cold Pack/Ice Pack Yet?
One thing you can always count on is that back pain is like a lot of other body pains such as middle back pain, upper back pain, and lower back pain. It’s similar to neck pain, wrist pain, foot pain, hip pain and toe pain in that ice ALWAYS relieves it.
So why not apply ice right now?
Lay a few towels on your back as you lie on your stomach and then gently lay the ice pack on top. Cover the ice pack to keep it cold. Then start dreaming of good things because your pain will be gone soon.
2. Hanging Upside Down
This natural remedy is literally an instant cure for back pain. Here’s the bottom line: when hanging upside down, the excess electrical activity in the muscles of the back is instantly relieved and the muscles are reset to their original position. Some people fear that menstrual fluid will go the wrong direction and end up in your stomach or somewhere else. It’s a crazy thought because menstrual fluid has to stay contained inside the reproductive area but you know how it goes with those who have lack of knowledge.
If excess electrical firing of the back muscles is one of your causes of menstrual back pain, hang upside down for 30 seconds. You’ll experience pain relief quickly.
3. Exercising with Supplements
Exercising such as walking or cycling can work to stop back pain but only if your calcium, magnesium and vitamin D levels are good. You need these three nutrients for muscle contraction and relaxation, and when you have back pain, you need muscle relaxation. A dose of 500 mg calcium, 250 mg magnesium and 5000 IU vitamin D3 is a good starting point and can be repeated twice daily temporarily until the pain is gone. Use the supplement protocol along with exercising as a treatment for lower back pain during period. And don’t forget your period vitamin, the one that contains all the vitamins, minerals and herbs you need to prevent back pain in the first place.
4. Homeopathic Supplement for Back Pain
For this one, your best bet is to actually see a homeopathic physician who can be treating you for your special case of back pain. You see, your back pain can’t possibly be the exact same thing as your friend Jessica’s, Sophie’s or Samantha’s. You need personalized treatment. Your back pain cause can even change on a month to month basis. Do consider this option. But in the meantime, pick up the homeopathic remedy called Sepia and try that.
5. Consider Taking a Period Vitamin
No one may have told you how important it was to take a period vitamin. Understandable. Well, what the period vitamin does is support your body during your period – and the rest of the month for that matter.
Why do you take it?
Because you’re a woman and you have completely different nutritional needs than everyone else. Really, your needs are different than your grandma’s. Than your non-menstruating sister. And different than your mom’s. Women have different cycles in life and the goal is to match those cycles with vitamins, minerals and herbals during those periods of life. The calcium and magnesium levels in the period vitamin may be enough for your body to respond positively and decrease back pain.
