Conservative Treatment and Patient Expectations

Summer and the Spine
Vitamin D Can Reduce Back Pain
Soak Up the Sunshine to Cut Chronic Pain
Studies show that people with chronic back pain have insufficient levels of vitamin D. And when they bump up their intake of vitamin D, their pain lessens dramatically.
You can get vitamin D from the sun, among other sources. When the sun's rays hit your skin, your body becomes a vitamin D factory. Take advantage of summer’s wealth of sunny days to boost your vitamin D levels—and potentially lessen your back pain.

Alternative Treatments for Rheumatoid Arthritis
 |
Have you heard of devil’s claw? White willow bark? Ever considered mind-body exercises to manage your rheumatoid arthritis pain?
If you’re still in pain, but think alternative treatments aren’t for you, you should reconsider. You don’t have to abandon mainstream medicine—think of it as complementing your treatment plan with holistic methods. They may not be scientifically proven to reduce back pain, but they could work for you.
