What vitamins should I take if I have back pain?
Hello! This is a great question. Calcium (1200 mg a day), Magnesium (600-800 mg a day), Vitamin D. These supplements will help relax your muscles, relieve pain, calm down the nervous system and ease your spasms.
How do I heal my sprained back?
I suggest MuscleCare, my all-natural pain reliever. It will push magnesium through the skin and into the muscles to relax your muscles and allow the natural circulation of nutrients from your food to enter your muscles faster.
You should also relax and stretch your back via gentle movements and stretches (held for 30-60 seconds) in various directions. If there's a sharp pain, do not continue, and try a different stretch.
