Whether it’s the result of overexerting yourself at the gym, spending too many uninterrupted hours staring at a screen or simply age, chronic neck and back pain is one of the most pervasive disorders in the country. And while there are a number of treatments for chronic neck and back pain, some come with significant drawbacks, such as the long recovery times associated with surgery and the high incidence of addiction that has increasingly become linked with the use of prescription pain medication. However, as this Free Press Journal article notes, there are number of all natural remedies that have proven effectiveness in treating chronic neck and back pain.
