Bad back? Show some spine and stop popping paracetamol

Treat the cause not the symptoms

Back pain is typically caused by subluxation - a dysfunctional spinal segment which is fixated. No pills will cure this. Losing weight, exercise, diet can dramatically improve the symptoms and be an inportand part of rehabilitation but most people want a pill because they are ill informed and ill advised by those who they trust. Education for the quacks and for the patients will serve the general population best.
