As much as possible, avoid bed rest for more than a day or 2 as it may make your back pain worse, not better.
The problem with generic cures for back pain is that no two people have the exact same underlying issues. For example, someone with bulging discs may require a different treatment plan than someone that is experiencing lower back and sciatica.

On of the back pain cures mentioned in The 7 Day Back Pain Cure is Acupuncture
The ancient Chinese practice of acupuncture has been shown to be a very effective long-term cure for back pain. People treated with this therapy remained pain-free and were less likely to use medication for pain relief.
Acupuncture may work by releasing pain-relieving opiates that occur naturally in our body, calming the sympathetic nervous system and releasing soothing neurotransmitter chemicals and hormones.
Interestingly, supplementation with vitamins and minerals may also qualify as cures for back pain. For instance, the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in people with chronic musculoskeletal pain is known to be very high â€" especially if they have dark skin. Some experts believe that everyone with persistent, non-specific musculoskeletal pain should be screened for vitamin D deficiency.
Similarly, vitamin B12 has also been found to relieve back pain. Magnesium maintains normal muscle and nerve function; increasing magnesium levels by supplementation was found to reduce lower back pain.

Massage therapy is a very effective cure for back pain and also reduces anxiety and depression frequently seen in chronic patients. Chiropractors use physical manipulation to restore mobility to the spine when it becomes restricted by injury, inflammation and pain. Their skill can relieve back pain and muscle tightness, encouraging healing.
An interesting new cure for back pain is called prolotherapy, in which a liquid solution is injected into soft tissues such as ligaments and tendons. This triggers local inflammation, so that the bodys natural healing response then takes over to repair the weakened soft tissues and relieve pain.
Unlike drugs, prolotherapy is thought to address the underlying problem and usually, no other treatment is necessary. Preliminary studies have found that back pain involving ligament injury responds well to prolotherapy.
