Burning Back Pain – Causes And Natural Remedies

Keeping your muscles moving, circulating fresh oxygen and blood through your back is critical when dealing with burning back pain. Building and maintaining your back’s muscle strength is vital, particularly if the root of your burning back pain is due to skeletal irregularities (disc, spinal, pelvic issues or other bodily injuries, imbalances or traumas).

If your pain is more than simply mild pain and it lasts more than 15 minutes during a specific exercise, you should at least stop that specific exercise, and possibly contact your doctor. You may find that exercise variations or types may or may not exacerbate your burning back pain.

Don’t give up on exercise altogether just because it causes some pain. Most mild discomforts/pains felt at the start of exercises is generally normal and a sign of exercise, and should disappear as the relevant muscles become stronger. Some types of yoga are excellent for burning back pain, as a healthy way to gently stretch out muscles and to ease pains.

Chili Peppers

That burning sensation you may experience with eating peppers is your body’s recognition of capsaicin, the active ingredient. Substance P is a neurochemical that transmits pain from your burning back pain location to your brain.

Eating chili peppers has been shown to deplete the Substance P. The result is a natural painkiller type of effect. However, your brain does need to know when your back is traumatized, so your goal is not to entirely kill all burning back pain, but to alleviate much of it. So add those chili peppers to your eggs, or whenever you can.
