Homeopathic remedies cannot work on ANY physical basis. But... they do work on a psychological basis. Therefore, if you have back pain, and take a homeopathic remedy that you believe will cure the pain, it will likely work. If you take a homeopathic remedy for the flu, pneumonia, or any other pathogenetically caused ailment, it won't work.
They are much like Granny's cold cure on the old Beverly Hillbillies show. A cold normally runs it's course in 7-10 days. Granny had a cure that was widely known to work (her "rheumatiz medicine", aka moonshine). Her cure... 2 swigs of rheumatiz medicine morning & night for 7-10 days. Guaranteed to work.
Homeopathy is a lot like that.
