The Prophet ﷺ taught a specific method to seek relief from any localized physical pain, including backaches and spinal discomfort.
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ (×3)
أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ وَقُدْرَتِهِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا أَجِدُ وَأُحَاذِرُ (×7)
أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ وَقُدْرَتِهِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا أَجِدُ وَأُحَاذِرُ (×7)
Bismillah (x3). A’udhu billahi wa qudratihi min sharri ma ajidu wa uhadhir (x7).
In the name of Allah (x3). I seek refuge in Allah and His power from the evil of what I find and fear (x7).
