Body work is a form of complementary and alternative medicine - aka CAM - that is sometimes very helpful in preventing or healing back pain. Have you tried bodywork for your back pain? Share your experience. Share Your Experience

Massage, acupuncture, TrP injections

I've had back pain since I was 10 and it's only gotten worse as I've gotten older. The only things that have helped me are massage, acupuncture and cupping, and trigger point injections for when things are really bad. Without these treatments, I'd be in a wheel chair. With them, I've been able to give up the cane I used when my SI joint sclerosis got really painful.

Massage!

I believe, from my own experience, that an excellent massage therapist can work wonders.
