In another study, in Taiwan, researchers reported that six sessions of acupressure given over a month relieved lower-back pain and improved movement 89% better than the same amount of physical therapy. What’s more, acupressure’s benefits held up at the 6-month follow-up. FoodScience of Vermont’s devil’s claw extract is equivalent to the formulation used in the studies. Take two tablets a day. Or try Nature’s Way white willow bark capsules with 15% salicin (one or two daily)—just be sure to check with your doc before adding new supplements to your regime.
