Heal N Soothe is a natural pain reliever and anti-inflammatory from Livingwell Nutraceuticals and The Healthy Back Institute. When you consider the dangers involved with the commonly prescribed NSAID’s (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs) a natural alternative makes a lot of sense.
Although NSAID’s are good at controlling pain and reducing inflammation, according to the U.S. Food And Drug Administration prolonged use of NSAID’s can increase the chances of suffering a heart attack or stroke, cause ulcers and bleeding in the stomach and intestines and also kidney problems, just to mention a few!

I was alerted to an interview of a prominent back pain specialist through reading Steve Lockharts’ “The Bad Back Book” and was very interested in finding out more about what this Professor of Anesthesiology had to say. His thinking is that 85-90 percent of chronic back pain is due to muscular problems and that when there is a muscle imbalance or strain or where there are one group of muscles more developed than another these ‘abnormalities’ cause “the whole architecture of the back to be askew.”
