What natural remedies would you recommend for slipped disc- and hip joint pain?

December 19th, 2009 | by admin |

Have had a slipped disc and as I get oder the pain never really goes away. I don’t want to use conventional NSAIDs as I had nephritis twice as a child. Now I notice I’m also getting a pain in my hip joint when I lie on it. I’d like to know if there are natural remedies that work for relief of chronic pain.
* Lie on your back with your knees bent. Keep your back in a neutral position — not overly arched and not pressed into the floor. Avoid tilting your hips up. * Cough to activate your core muscles. Holding the contraction in your abdominal muscles, raise your hips off the floor. * Align your hips with your knees and shoulders. Hold this position and take three deep breaths — or for about five to eight seconds. * Return to the start position and repeat. For a challenge, try alternately extending one knee while maintaining the bridge position. This actually works. Breathing and alignment plus the movement is an excellent home remedy. Hope this helps. Good luck.

    Acupuncture!! No side effects and very effective pain relief. There is a recent article from some Neurosurgeons who have started using acupuncture for their patients with problems similar to yours.

    So sorry to hear what you are going through, you are not alone there are thousands of us with ths same or worse problems.

    After verifying with my doctor that I have slipped discs, bulging discs, degenerative discs and nerve problems , etc, etc, my doctor gave me pain relief, anti inflammatories as well as referring me to a physiotherapist. I very rarely take the inflammatories or pain relief these days except in emergencies like when I have a back spasm and end up on the floor and finally having to stay in bed for several days.

    The light exercises I do on a daily basis with specific stretches and ball work to strengthen the lower back muscles are helping a little to alleviate the constant pain.

    I would suggest you pose the same question on :

    I certainly found it helpful and you can stay anonymous if you wish or join it costs nothing.

    I have experienced what research reaffirms, ice is the best topical pain reliever.
    I also recommend chiropractic treatment.

    Good call on not using the NSAID, i have had some crazy stomach issues from them. I am now using a product called Flexcin that has worked wonderfully for me. I was also taking 10 1000mg omega 3’s a day, but have cut down to 5. They worked wonders as well. You can take a look at http://www.zerojointpain.com for more info.

    Good luck!!
