If you are experiencing painful PMS back pain, here are five effective home remedies you can try to gain relief fast.

1. Treat the pain with Ice or a Cold Pack

Ice is a great pain reliever. It works for neck pain, wrist pain, foot pain, hip pain, toe pain and, of course, middle back, upper back and lower back pain. Lie on your stomach with a towel on your back. Put the ice on the towel and experience the relief.

2. Hang Upside Down 

Hanging upside down is a great way to quickly gain relief from back pain as this relieves pressure on the area. When hanging upside down, the excess electrical activity in the muscles of the back is instantly relieved and the muscles are reset to their original position. Some women have expressed concerns that menstrual fluid will go the wrong direction and end up in their stomach but don’t worry this is not possible.

3. Exercise & take supplements

Exercising, such as walking or cycling, can be a great way to loosen up the back and relieve pain.

You should also be sure to take a supplement that is high in calcium, magnesium and vitamin D. You need these three nutrients for muscle contraction and relaxation, and when you have back pain, you need muscle relaxation. A dose of 500 mg calcium, 250 mg magnesium and 5000 IU vitamin D3 is a good starting point and can be repeated twice daily temporarily until the pain is gone.

Using the supplement’s recommended protocol along with exercising is a great treatment for lower back pain during your period. One easy way to do this is to start taking a Period Vitamin which contains all the vitamins, minerals and herbs you need to alleviate PMS symptoms, including prevent back pain.

4. Take a homeopathic supplement

You will need to see a homeopathic physician, but he or she may be able to provide you with a personalized supplement that you can use to treat your back pain. Each person’s back pain is different and the physician will want to study your symptoms and develop an approach that will work best for you.

5. Regularly take a Period Vitamin

As we mentioned earlier, taking a Period Vitamin is a great way to support your body during your period – and the rest of the month for that matter. Women have different nutritional needs than men. The Period Vitamin matches your cycles with the vitamins, minerals and herbs you need to feel your best. For example, the calcium and magnesium in the Period Vitamin may be just what you need to relieve back pain.

Before spending money on expensive medical treatments, try these natural remedies for PMS back pain and see if any work for you.
