Fish Oil Effective for Treating Chronic Back Pain & Neck Pain

A recent study published in Surgical Neurology on the use of fish oil to treat chronic low-back and neck pain has found promising results. Many of the patients had degenerative disc conditions. Here were the results:

After beginning supplementation, subjects were given a questionnaire asking for clinical improvements and any side effects. After an average of 75 days of fish oil supplementation, 60% of respondents reported significant improvements, including reduction in overall pain and 59% were able to stop taking other pain medicine. None of the patients experienced significant side effects and 88% of the respondents planned to continue using the omega-3 fish oil.

Participants in this study took 2-4 capsules a day. Dr. Maroon emphasized the usefulness of fish oil as an effective alternative to pain medication, as well as the importance of selecting a pharmaceutical-grade fish oil:

“It is important for patients to know that safer alternatives to pain medications are available,” said Dr. Maroon. “Fish oil supplements containing EPA and DHA omega-3s are an effective choice with fewer or no side effects. People should be careful to choose a pharmaceutical-grade fish oil supplement that is fresh and free of potentially harmful heavy metals, such as the mercury, PCBs, and dioxins that can be found in fish.”

  • How do you determine what is pharmaceutical grade? I've used fish oil on and off for a few years (with mixed results), and I can't recall having ever heard the term before.

    I started taking fish oil pills on the advice of my doctor for elevated cholesterol. I also have severe disc degeneration to the point that my neurosurgeon wanted to do spinal fusions and I also have arthritis. About a month after I began fish oil I began to notice that my joint pain and back pain had substantially decreased. I ran out of the pills for about a week now and I can tell a big difference in pain level and also an increase in numbness and tingling in my leg. After reading this article and one on "WebMD" I will never run out of fish oil again!!!!!!
