Lower Back Pain
Hello Doctor,
I hope you are doing well. My mother recently fell and injured her lower back. After a medical examination, the doctor informed me that the pain was due to a paraspinal muscle spasm and prescribed painkillers to provide relief.
However, once the effect of the medication were off, the pain returned. After observing this cycle several times, I decided to switch to homeopathy for faster recovery. I have been giving her Rhus Tox 200, Arnica Montana 200, Ruta 30, and Hypericum 30, which have provided some relief.
However, she still experiences episodes of severe pain occasionally, and it has been approximately three months since the injury, yet the pain persists.

Dear Patient,
I truly understand your concern for your mother. Back injuries in adults, especially around the paraspinal muscles, can be quite stubborn because even after the strain heals, the muscle fibers and supporting ligaments remain weak and inflamed, causing repeated episodes of spasm and pain on minimal exertion.
Youâve done very well to start with Rhus tox, Arnica, Ruta, and Hypericum these are excellent acute remedies for muscle and ligament injuries. The reason her pain still comes back after 3 months is that the injury has now turned chronic the affected area is not just mechanically weak but also showing signs of deep tissue inflammation and nerve sensitivity.
In such cases, continuing acute medicines wonât give complete relief. What is needed is a constitutional homeopathic approach we select remedies based on your motherâs complete physical constitution, thermal state (hot/chilly), emotional pattern, sleep, and aggravating factors. Medicines like Calcarea carb, Kali carb, Phosphorus, Causticum, or Natrum mur are often required at this stage depending on her overall symptoms.
My suggestion:
Continue her basic medicines till you consult.
Avoid long sitting, bending forward, or sudden twisting movements.
Use warm compresses and a firm mattress for back support.
Gentle stretching once pain reduces.
For a lasting cure and strengthening of the spine, I recommend a detailed consultation to understand her full case and prescribe her individualized treatment.

It seems your motherâs injury has led to a chronic muscular and possibly ligamentous strain. Youâre using the right group of remedies for such complaints, but since pain is persisting for three months, she now needs a proper constitutional prescription along with supportive medicines to ensure complete recovery and prevent recurrence.
Please consult me with full details of her symptoms, modalities, and general health for a personalized treatment plan. Avoid overexertion and support with gentle back stretches once pain subsides.

I'm glad you're exploring homoeopathic options. The effectiveness of the medicines depends on various factors, including dosage and mode of intake, which aren't specified here. It's essential to consult an experienced homoeopath for personalized guidance.
Regarding your mother's condition, paraspinal muscle spasm typically occurs due to sudden contraction of paraspinal muscles, often triggered by a fall. A comprehensive approach combining home care, medication, and physical exercises can facilitate complete recovery.
Here's a suggested plan:
Home Care
1. Apply heat fomentation to relieve pain and stiffness
2. Maintain proper hydration
3. Practice good posture while sitting and lying down
Medication
1. Homoeopathic remedies can help alleviate muscle spasms and prevent recurrence
2. Vitamin D supplements may be beneficial if there's a deficiency
Physical Exercises
1. Strengthening and stretching exercises can help maintain back stability and prevent future episodes
Recovery time may vary, typically taking 3-6 months for women over 50. Homoeopathy offers effective remedies for muscle-related issues, and an experienced practitioner can provide personalized treatment.
Next Steps
Make sure these 3 steps are taken properly. Rule out degenerative changes of spine also.
Get well soon.

Hello,dear hopefully doing good.
As yu said about your mother ,it's very hard to know about her in this age .
You are using homeopathic medicines certainly they are in general prescribed for injuries ,but giving all together is not the right dose and right track for recovery and relief from ailments,coz those medicines are acting in the same way as allopathic painkillers and will give palliative affect not the permanent cure , moreover you never know which medicine is to be given when for what duration and right potency .
So please if possible connect with an Experienced Homoeopath either online or visit .
And in the time being start giving Cal flour 6x 4-4 tabs twice for 1 week and Rhus tox 200 c once daily for 3 days.
And manage the pain with Hot fomentation as there are cold mornings and evenings now may cause stiffness and increase the pain. Thankyou and
Let she be soon well .

Hi...
It is very wise of you to switch and trust homoeopathic medicines in this and I appreciate.
The little correction that you need is selecting right medicine.
You did switch to homoeopathic medicines but completely ignored the rules, principles of homoeopathic system.
Prescribing too many medicines at a time in frequent repetition in higher potency is completely against what homoeopathy stands for.
And this is a very common mistake but the major set back for homoeopathy as people then don't get results and go into the belief that homoeopathic treatment does not work.
All of the medicine you gave are well known for injuries, and they have very frequently helped in similar cases. But without them matching to the case accurately, in right potency and repetition, you will not see lasting results.
Now, if I have to give advice, I would suggest you to consult a good homoeopathic doctor of your trust, let him/her take detailed case and prescribe a right medicine.
I hope your mother gets well soon.

Iâm sorry to hear about your motherâs ongoing pain â back injuries, especially involving the paraspinal muscles, can take time to heal, particularly in older adults. The medicines youâve chosen â Rhus Tox, Arnica, Ruta, and Hypericum â are indeed suitable for muscular and ligamentous injuries. However, since the pain has persisted for three months, it suggests that either the healing is incomplete or thereâs an underlying strain or postural imbalance maintaining the tension in the muscles. At this stage, continuing the same medicines may not be enough â she may require individualized prescription based on her exact pain modalities, posture, sleep, and general constitution.
Next Steps
Iâd recommend scheduling an online homeopathic consultation to reassess her case in detail. A customized medicine plan, possibly along with physiotherapy or mild back-strengthening exercises, can promote lasting recovery and prevent recurrence.
Health Tips
Encourage your mother to use a firm mattress, apply gentle warm compresses to the lower back twice daily, and avoid prolonged sitting or bending. Gentle stretching and maintaining correct posture while standing or walking will greatly support healing.
