However, there are some foods and nutrients considered antiinflammatories, and because of that action, may sometime relieve some pain. Some of the antiinflammatory items are fish oil (suggest 4-6 tablets per day), phytochemicals found in vegetables, fruits, whole grains, nuts and beans and peas, and vitamin D, which is from the sunshine, or from vitamin D supplements. Other than the meager changes you may feel from these adjustments, you will find it best to use proper body mechanics and specific back exercises that a physicial therapist may suggest for you. By the way, bananas are not rich in calcium. Bananas are sources of calories and potassium. Milk, cheese, yogurt and cooked turnip greens are sources of calcium. You may want to get a nutrition book that identifies the nutrients found in each food. Good luck with your back.
