Years ago, sodium hypochlorite was used to chlorinate pools. It is basic, pH greater than 7. And I think ordinary hydrochloric acid was used to drop the pH back to 7. I don't know if these are still used. Sodium Hypochlorite ([math]NaClO[/math]) was used to chlorinate pools. If you want to lower the pH, try adding HCl.
Because most episodes of back pain have inflammation as a contributing factor, anti-inflammatory medication such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) is often an effective pain medication treatment option.
From the WebMD Archives. NSAIDs -- or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs -- are among the most common pain relief medicines in the world. Every day more than 30 million Americans use them to soothe headaches, sprains, arthritis symptoms, and other daily discomforts, according to the American Gastroenterological Association.
