You don’t realize how much you take a healthy back for granted until you injure it. Then it becomes difficult to walk, sit, bend over to tie your shoes, sleep, rest or even sneeze (no kidding). Nutrition that addresses back pain includes foods that feed the back muscles, the nervous supply to the back, repairs torn tissue, and feeds the blood supply to the back (see Healthy Heart). These nutrients include minerals, vitamins, vasodilators, trace minerals, enzymes and more (see Adjunctive Nutritional Schedule above). Foods that address inflammation are also important during acute phases (see Anti Inflammation).
What’s better: back exercises or general exercise?
A study in the American Journal of Public Health (2005;95:1817–24) completed with 681 test subjects by the University of California, Los Angeles, shows that recreational exercise is better than specific back exercises for low back pain. “People who engaged in more recreational activity had less low back pain, disability, and psychological distress, while people who engaged in more specific low back exercises tended to have more. The results suggest that general activity might be beneficial for back pain, whereas back exercises might be harmful.” (Appleton, ND, CNS, Jeremy, “Back in Shape: What Is the Right Exercise Program for Low Back Pain?” Healthnotes Newswire, Jan. 19, 2006)
