Almost everyone suffers from a bit of back pain from time to time, with lower back pain or lumbago being particularly common. Most of the time, back pain is nothing to worry about and will only last a few days. Changes to your diet and natural supplements may even relieve pain in your back, including these five herbs and spices.
Back pain is a common complaint for many Britons, especially as people get older.
If you spend lots of time working slumped at a desk, or on your feet all day, you may notice pain in your back.
Back pain may go away on its own, but the NHS recommends you seek medical advice if:
- the pain does not start to improve within a few weeks
- the pain stops you doing your day-to-day activities
- the pain is very severe or gets worse over time
- you’re worried about the pain or struggling to cope
