Stiff back refers to reduced flexibility, tightness, and restricted movement of the spinal and paraspinal muscles. This may arise from muscle strain, poor posture, prolonged sitting, degenerative disc disease, arthritis, injury, cold exposure, or inflammatory conditions like spondylitis. Patients complain of difficulty bending, twisting, or straightening the back, along with muscle tightness, spasms, morning stiffness, and pain radiating to hips or legs. Chronic cases may lead to reduced mobility, persistent pain, and postural issues.

Homoeopathy focuses on relieving muscular stiffness, reducing inflammation, correcting postural imbalance, and improving spinal mobility. Medicines are chosen based on the location, nature of stiffness, modalities (better/worse factors), radiation of pain, associated muscle spasms, and the patient’s general constitution. Homoeopathic remedies can help in both acute muscular stiffness and chronic degenerative causes.
