Most people don’t think of homeopathy for musculoskeletal problems, but the research shows it is surprisingly effective.

In this observational study, the effectiveness of individualised homeopathy for longstanding lower back pain, and a range of other chronic diseases, was evaluated.

The 2-year-long study involved multiple centres, 48 physicians, and 129 patients.

Conventional treatments had been previously sought by most patients but with limited effect.

The results from their homeopathic treatment?

Over a 2-year period, patients reported marked and sustained improvements in the severity of their back pain and other complaints, and in their quality of life.

Their need for conventional treatments and drugs was significantly reduced.

The study concluded that classic (individualised) homeopathic treatment represented an effective treatment for low back pain and other diagnoses.

It improved health-related quality of life measures and reduced the use of other healthcare services.
