If you suffer from back pain, the following information might help you:
1.) get your atlas fixed https://www.atlantomed.eu/en (this is the most important step)
Almost everyone who has chronic back pain also has a misaligned atlas (!).
You can easily find out if your atlas is misaligned by visiting any atlantomed therapist, he or she will check your atlas position FOR FREE, this only takes 1 or 2 minutes and only requires very small "finger pressure" (it is just manual sensing with the fingertips). So this little examination should be completely safe.
Unfortunately, there are still not atlantomed therapists in USA (November 19th, 2022).
It is better to assume that you DO HAVE a misaligned atlas as large parts of the population have a slightly misaligned atlas due to the unnatural birth posture most women (have to) use since the introduction of the so called "medical" birth stool, which forces women to give birth while lying, which reduces the birth canal by 20 - 30%, which forces nurses or doctors to use certain tools to get the baby out, like a suction cup etc., which puts unnatural pressure/force on the babys head, which can misalign the atlas as the babys bones are still very soft. Later, the bones harden and then the atlas misalignment usually remains for the rest of the life of this person and can cause symptoms, or not, this depends on the degree of the misalignment and on the anatomy of this individual person. So most peoples atlasses are or were usually misaligned during birth and then stay misaligned for the rest of this persons life. Or in other words, just another medical scandal of epic proportions (...).
If it turns out your atlas is misaligned - which is also visible on a spiral CT of the neck region - I recommend that only an osteopath who has the additional atlantomed qualification should do the atlas correction itself. I do NOT recommend that you go to a chiropractor.
There is an english book about all this called "The best kept secret to raising a healthy child" by Dr. Mulhall-Wehrenberg / Wehrenberg which you should read if you are a parent or if you want additional information about the atlas problem, see
https://www.amazon.com/Best-Kept-Raising-Possible-Prevention-Syndrome/dp/0615114857/
The atlas correction usually needs to be done "once per life", as the atlas was artifically misaligned during birth, it requires an artificial correction to correct the original artificial misalignment during birth so to speak.
My atlas was misaligned, my girlfriends atlas was misaligned, so I guess you get the idea that the problem is "quite frequent". My bad spinal posture and my back pain disappeared a few weeks after the atlas correction. All documented by photographs.
There is a similar text about all this at
http://meulengrachtforum.altervista.org/forum/index.php/topic,1154.msg4060.html#msg4060
(which repeats most of what I wrote here)
2.) buy a good inversion table
https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=inversion&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Ainversion
Make sure you buy a high quality, stable one to make sure that there is no risk involved.
Inform yourself about possible contraindications (there are a few) BEFORE you buy an inversion table! For example: obesity, glaucoma, retinal detachment, conjunctivitis, pregnancy, spinal injury, cerebral sclerosis, swollen joints, middle ear infection, high blood pressure, hypertension, recent stroke, TIA, heart or circulatory disorders, hiatus hernia, ventral hernia, bone weakness, use of anti-coagulants including aspirin.

READ THE MANUAL BEFORE YOU USE IT!!!
Start SLOWLY, gradually increase the inclination!
3.) Get the rene quinton seawater ampullas, the ISOtonic version, for example from the french pharmacy at https://anonym.to/?https://www.purepara.com/fr/vitalite/26923-quinton-isotonic-30-ampoules-3401572062422.html or search for the cheapest source for your location!
These ampullas are said to be able to refill the liquid inside your intervertebral discs (which is something medicine "officially" CANNOT do as far as I heard) by simply drinking them, therefore "automatically" reducing back pain! I have a few german articles about this, no english ones, sorry, for the german articles see my german health tips, "Tipps gegen Rückenschmerzen", here:
http://meulengrachtforum.altervista.org/forum/index.php/topic,1055.msg3784.html#msg3784
The method is called "Mesotherapie" in german ("mesotherapy" in english) or another english term is "NCP-therapy" ("Nutrition-Circulation-Plasma-therapy"). I heard that people pay a lot of money to drive to doctors who then administer these ampullas by infusion, but I heard that this is not necessary regarding the rehydration of the vertebral discs, drinking the content of the ampullas should be sufficient to refill the discs, I guess these doctors do not want their patients to know that ;-)
4.) try a kneeling chair, for example "varier balans". And/or get a high table so that you can work while standing!
5.) If you have back pain of unknown origin, I strongly suggest you get the FREE ebook by Dr. Charlie Johnson, see
https://www.drcharliejohnsonpt.com/
and study it thoroughly!
This should REALLY help you to determine the real SOURCE of your back pain! Also watch Dr. Johnsons youtube videos once you found out what triggers your back pain:
https://www.youtube.com/@drcharliejohnson/videos
If it turns out that you have sciatic pain, you can try the exercises at
But also check out everything that Dr. Johnson has to say about all this!!
You should also try squatting (as already mentioned in the earthing section):
see https://www.naturesplatform.com
6.) I recently learned through a german youtube video by "Liebscher & Bracht" ("the pain specialists") that it is a very good idea to sleep on a mattress which is as hard as possible and on a pillow which is as thin as possible or, even better, no pillow at all. They explain this in detail in german here:
You should sleep on your back or on your belly, not sideways, you can slowly "retrain" your body to sleep in these two positions. Turning is natural, thats something your body wants to do for various reasons, for example because of the so called "nasal cycle", but try to turn on your back or on your belly when you wake up and realize that you are in the "wrong" sleeping position. Sleeping sideways with a pillow which is too low overstretches the neck area, sleeping sideways is generally not recommended for your entire spine and cervical spine, therefore you should try to sleep on your back or on your belly.
Regarding the hardness of your mattress, I suggest that you use your slatted frame - if you have one - and slowly set it to a harder setting. If you can still manage the hardness on the hardest setting, you might even consider getting a new mattress which is one grade harder and then set the slatted frame to softest, then slowly make the slatted frame setting harder again.
Do the same for the pillow - slowly make it thinner, until you reach the "maximum thinness" or even reach the point where you can sleep without pillow at all. You have to sleep on your back or on your belly if you want to sleep with a low pillow or no pillow at all.
7.) Incline your bed see https://inclinedbedtherapy.com
