Enzyme Therapy Medicine for Back Pain

Enzyme therapy involves the use of enzyme supplements to improve your digestive processes and your overall health. Through the consumption of pancreatic and plant-based enzymes, you can improve digestive processes and immune system functioning, eliminate accumulated toxins in your body, and realign imbalances in your body that are major contributors to chronic and acute painful conditions, swelling and inflammation. Enzyme therapy can also be used to alleviate back pain.

  1. Benefits of Enzyme Therapy

    • In "The Complete Book of Enzyme Therapy: A Complete and Up-to-Date Reference to Effective Remedies," author Anthony J. Cichoke explains how enzyme therapy is beneficial if you are seeking back pain relief. Enzyme therapy helps strengthen your body and helps you establish a higher pain tolerance. Enzyme therapy also helps improve immunological functioning; it stimulates circulatory processes, and it helps speed healing processes. This type of therapy helps get necessary nutrients to damaged areas of your body, it helps eliminate bodily toxins with greater proficiency, and helps rebalance intestinal flora and bacteria for optimal digestive and general health. Finally, since enzyme therapy involves the act of consuming all-natural, safe oral enzyme supplements, the therapy can be used by anyone of any age for back pain relief and for treating other chronic pain conditions.

    Papain

    • Papain is an enzyme derived from the Carica papaya plant. This enzyme helps you tolerate gluten better, and it helps improve absorption processes during digestion by assisting in breaking down proteins. Papain also helps diminish swelling and inflammation associated with back pain. Adults can take 1,800mg to 2,000mg of Papain three times daily in capsule form between meals with a glass of water. Children ages 2 to 5 can take 450mg to 500mg of Papain three times daily to improve digestive processes and reduce swelling and inflammation associated with back pain. Children ages 6 to 12 can take 900mg to 1000mg of Papain three times a day, and children ages 13 to 17 can take 1350mg to 1500mg of Papain three times a day.

    Bromelain

    • Bromelain is a natural enzyme that enhances digestive processes, reduces swelling and inflammation associated with back pain, and serves as a natural immune system stimulant. Adults can take one 230mg to 250mg capsule of Bromelain each day. You should take the supplement between meals, on an empty stomach, with an 8-oz. glass of water. Children ages 2 to 5 can take 50mg to 60mg of Bromelain a day; children ages 6 to 12 can take 100mg to 125mg of Bromelain a day, and children ages 13 to 17 can take 160mg to 180mg of Bromelain a day.

    Pancreatin

    • Pancreatin is an enzyme that contains proteases, amylases, and lipases that may improve the digestion of proteins, fats and carbohydrates. This natural enzyme also helps alleviate swelling and pain associated with back pain. Adults can take one 300mg capsule of Pancreatin three times daily. Children ages 2 to 5 can take 75mg of Pancreatin three times a day; children ages 6 to 12 can consume 150 mg of Pancreatin three times daily, and children ages 13 to 17 can consume 225mg of Pancreatin three times a day.
