Homeopathic remedy for herniated disc

Standard treatments for cases of a herniated disk, sciatica, lower back pain, or bulging disk are relatively limited; you can do special sets of exercises designed to strengthen your back, rest regularly, apply heat or cold in cases of back pain or take some of the pain killer drugs.

Alternative Therapies

But there are several alternative therapies for lower back pain like spinal or chiropractic manipulation (which is effective for cases of acute low back pain but not for sciatica), yoga, and breathing exercises (which may relieve the low back pain), acupuncture (which is traditional Chinese healing technique where thin needles are inserted in a specific point in the body, and which can provide short term relief in cases of low back pain) and massage (which can be combined with aromatherapy essential oils to provide pain relief).

Prospective multicenter observational study. Consecutive patients beginning homeopathic treatment in primary care practices were evaluated over 2 years by using standardized questionnaires.

Diagnoses (ICD-9) and symptoms with severity, health-related quality of life (QoL), medical history, consultations, homeopathic and conventional treatments, and other health service use were recorded.
One hundred twenty-nine adults (64.3% women, mean age 43.6 +/- 12.7 y) were treated by 48 physicians. The patients mainly had chronic low back pain (average duration 9.6 +/- 9.0 y) and other chronic diseases.
Nearly all the patients (91.3%) had been pretreated. The initial case-taking took 113 +/- 36, and the case analysis took 31 +/- 38 minutes. The 7.4 +/- 8.1 subsequent consultations (duration: 23.7 +/- 15.2 min) cumulated to 204.5 +/- 184.6 minutes. The patients received an average of 6.8 +/- 6.3 homeopathic prescriptions.
The severity of the diagnoses and complaints showed marked and sustained improvements with large effect sizes (Cohen's d from 1.67 to 2.55) and QoL improved accordingly (SF-36 physical component scale d = 0.33; mental component scale d = 0.54). The use of conventional treatment and health services decreased markedly: the number of patients using low back pain-related drugs was half of the baseline.
