Back pain repeatedly involves inflammation and pain. Chiropractic care at Rosenberg Wellness Center helps reduce inflammation and pain due to back pain. And your New York City chiropractor understands that the pain relief may come too slowly for our suffering New York City back pain patients. So Rosenberg Wellness Center keeps up on natural pain relievers that may be relieving in the interim.

Natural herb pain relievers most accepted are curcumin, turmeric, white willow bark, boswellia serrata, and devil’s claw. Alone or in combination, these herbs may be a New York City back pain sufferers best friend. So how do they work? What are they?

Well, curcumin is a natural product and member of the ginger root family. It’s an herb, known for its spiciness yet its ironic calming effect on stomach upset. It functions as an anti-inflammatory agent. Rosenberg Wellness Center’s daily rival in chiropractic practice! Research suggests that curcumin may reduce swelling and help ease symptoms of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. (1) More recently, research shows that it promotes spinal cord repair by inhibiting glial scar formation and inflammation. Researchers even suggest the therapeutic potential of curcumin for spinal cord injury. (2) That’s powerful.

Now, if these references and bits of information aren’t enough about curcumin, just one of many herbal natural pain relievers, check out what the Cochrane Database System Review (the highly respected research organization that collects and reviews the top studies in medicine for clinical outcomes) reports about using another two natural pain relievers for back pain: the natural herbal pain relievers white willow bark and devil’s claw are effective for treating low back pain. Cochrane goes even further to share that daily doses of white willow bark are “probably better than placebo for short term improvements in pain” and reduce the need for rescue medication! Plus, no adverse side-effects were noted in any of the reviewed studies of the herbal natural pain relievers! (3) That’s always a New York City chiropractic care goal: no adverse side-effects!

Another no-adverse-side-effect herbal pain reliever was studied by Cochrane: boswellia serrata. Reported benefits include improved function as well as reduced pain symptoms compared to placebo. (4) More good news!
