How Can Severe Backache Be Treated?
I am having serious trouble sleeping and back and new pain. I have been seeing a chiropractor and am seeing positive results. In a recent conversation, after discussing my issues, the chiropractor suggesting taking Magnesium Thiconate and provided me with some samples. I am not having side effects and want to order a supply to take regularly. What do you recommend?

Magnesium L-Threonate is a relatively newer form of magnesium, and apart from helping one with sleep issues, it helps boost cognition and relieve anxiety.
It is a safe medication but due to its higher absorptive rate, it is preferable to limit dosage to 300mg/day.
As it is providing you with the desired effect and having no side effects presently, you can continue the same.
Please note however that if you have a history of cardiac or kidney related problems, this line of medication should be stopped.
Also, on account of its adverse effects, if you have any symptoms such as weakness, shortness of breath, or confusion, then stop the supplementation and visit the nearest ER for checking your Magnesium levels and requiring immediate treatment for the same.

hi sir/madam,
Let me advice you for your problem.
Low back ache may be a pre-monitory (prodromal) symptom in fistula in ano, sciatica, gouty arthritis, hernia, emaciation disorder etc. Pain is confined to lower part of the spine (back bone) especially lumbar region or lumbo-sacral area (rarely sacro-iliac region also). If it is secondary, earlier history of fall or injury may be associated. Rarely, radiating pain may be complained by the patient towards lower limbs. But it is quite common in low back aches if the defect is in the discs between vertebrae (back bones). Often the movements of lumbo-sacral region like flexion and rotation are hampered either partially or completely.
Low back pain may be found in mild form in case of anemia, sciatica, rheumatoid arthritis, hemorrhoids, urinary calculi, uterine disorders etc also.
Line of treatment as per Ayurveda:-
The general principles of treatment of vata dosha are adopted in case of katishoola (low back pain). It includes various measures to suit its varied clinical entities, stages and associated complaints.
1. Snehana (oleation) – by sneha dhara (pouring oil), abhyanga (oil massage), avagaha (tub bath with oil or oleaginous medicaments), kati basti (retaining medicaments on the back) etc.
2. Swedana (sudation) –avagaha sweda (sweating treatment with tub bath), pizichil (kayaseka), nadi sweda (sudation through a tubular device – local sudation), panda sweda (sudation through medicated paste or powder) etc.
3. Mridu Samshodhana -mild purgation.
4. Basti (medicated enema) like eranda basti, vaitarana basti, pippalyadianuvasana basti etc.
Formulations indicated in Low back ache as per Ayurveda:-
1. Dashamoola kwatha.
2.Maharasnadi kashaya.
3. Rasnaerandadi kashaya.
4. Sahacharadi kashaya.
5. Gandharvahastadi kashaya.
6. Trayodashanga guggulu.
And for local application these oils will help:-
1. Ksheerabala tail.
2. Mahanarayana tail.
3. Dhanwantaram tail.
4. Maha narayan tail.
Avoid these for better results:-
1.Bitter, astringent and pungent food
2.Cold water
3.Fear
4.Exhaustion
5.Standing
6.Driving
7.Cold food and beverages etc.
