What can I do to eliminate lower back pain without medication?!
Question:
Answers:
First, see your medical doctor to rule out any serious, underlying problems. Look to massage therapy and acupuncture therapy as good alternatives to medication therapy. Massage therapy, when done by a licensed professional, has been shown to be VERY effective at managing low back pain in research trials. Simple stretching or yoga can be helpful, too. Think about surgery only as a last resort, because you cannot undo it and sometimes it fails to provide relief. Here is a really good link, although somewhat technical.

Get a book on massage therapy and ask your girlfriend to massage you, then return the favor :-).

Seriously, Chiropractic is about 80% effective in treating musculoskeletal low back pain. There isn't another treatment with as good results. And chiropractic is much safer than drugs and surgery.
