Hi,Welcome to healthcare magic.After going through your query I think you are suffering from chronic backache. Treatment of back pain is exercises and analgesics (diclofenac ). Sometimes vitamin D deficiency is the cause so get her vitamin D checked .If it is low then vitamin D supplementation ( weekly with milk) can be taken.Avoid long continuous standing.Sit in a straight posture. Eat milk and milk product, fruits and green leafy vegetables daily. As per my understanding ,taking 1 or 2 packets of electoral everyday nothing to do with treatment of backache however it has no side effect.You may consider this after discussing with your treating doctor. To further investigate MRI of the region is advised . I think your query answered. Welcome to any follow up query
