Alternative medicine encompasses a wide range of health practices, therapies, and products that are not typically part of conventional Western medicine. These practices are often used to complement conventional treatments, but can also be used as standalone therapies.
4 Steps To Relieve Back Pain
Alternative Medicine
Michael J. Homan is a Reiki Master and studies natural healthing methods such as Acupressure,
Electro-Acupuncture, Reflexology, Crystal Therapy, Chinese Magnetic Cupping, has his own e-
Book called 4 Steps To A Pain-FREE Back!, and has a health related web site devoted to health
issues and natural healing techniques.
I have studied and taken courses in acupressure. Studied some on chiropractic. I also have
looked into psychological issues to do with pain and medical problems. And I am also a Reiki
Master.
So now that you have a little about my background, and what fuels my writing… let’s get to the
real content.
I am going to condense this article for convenience since it is a combination of four major
studies in themselves, but you can get my e-book or read my full articles at my web site, which is
healthgrowhealthier.com.
I have found that 4 major things play an important part in your spines health.
First, there is posture. I know this is not the first time you have heard this, but it needs to be said
again and again.
Posture should be noted in sitting, standing, and sleeping. Start taking note of your posture at all
times. If it is not straight, then start working on fixing it.
If you sleep in a position like I have in the past, with both hands under your pillow while you lay
on your side, you can pinch a nerve in your neck if your shoulder of the arm that’s up starts to
relax and leans in toward your head or neck. It would be better to lay your arm of your upper
hand down on your leg while one hand is under your pillow.
And if you can, buy a few different thickness pillows for throughout the night. I do not know
about you, but I can not have a high, fluffy pillow when I lay on my back. But a thin pillow gives
me neck ache when I lay on my side.
