These Ways Could End Your Back Pain!

Is back pain your problem? Have you ever felt that uncomfortable feeling in your back as if something is on top of it? Well you’re not alone, sometimes you just suddenly feel it after a long day of work or even before you start your day. It can suddenly happen as we do our daily activity due to muscle strain as we reach for an object or as we clean the house. It may also be due to stress at work, or even the way we sleep.

Back pain is a common reason why people nowadays go to the Doctor. If you think about it, a lot of things that we do can result to experiencing the sudden pain. But the good news is, back pain prevention is not that hard. Normally, we just need a few modification in our daily living to make sure we avoid it as much as possible. And here’s how:

• Exercise. Workout and stretching can be beneficial to your health and it can help you avoid back injuries or any muscle spasms. If you don’t have the time to go to the gym, then you can try simple basic workouts at home like jogging in the neighborhood or doing some stretching.

• Proper Meal. Eat your pain away! One of the reasons why your back may ache is because you lack nutrients. You may want to prepare meals that are rich in Calcium and Vitamin D for healthy bones and muscles; fruits that are high in fiber to avoid constipation and food that has omega 3 to avoid inflammation.

• Stop Smoking. We all do know that smoking can put our health at risk. Smokers are more prone to experience back pain due to the fact that the nicotine can stop the nutrient from going into our disk in the spine, thus resulting for it to dry out or crack. It can also reduce the amount of the oxygen our body needed to ensure the nourishment needed by our muscles.

• Sleeping sideways. Sleeping position is important to avoid back pain as well. Try sleeping sideways, studies show that people does this due to the fact that this position can lessen the stress or pressure on the lower back area.

• Lessen stress. We sometimes don’t realize that stress is the reason why we are experiencing back pain. According to Dr. Sarno’s Theory, stress can lead to Tension Myositis Syndrome which can cause lower back pain that is called “Spinal Irritation”. We could do healthy activities like meditation or yoga to control or lessen our stress level.

• Manage your posture. People sitting at the office for eight hours straight sometimes do not notice that they are already slouching, thus resulting to back pain. Pay attention once in a while on how we sit – sit straight; head high and stomach in. If you can manage good posture, then you can maintain the natural curves of your back to keep it strong and avoid any future back pains.

With a few and simple lifestyle adjustment you can reduce possible back pain. However, if you continually feel the same back pain, don’t ignore or endure it. It can be a more serious situation that needs attention of a specialist. Go talk to your doctor first about the symptoms and find out if there are more medical treatment required.
