Simple Home Remedies To Get Rid Of Back Pain

Hello visitor! Thank you for taking the time to read this article.


Back pain is one of the most common fitness problems for a majority of people today. This ailment is particularly more prevalent among the office goers. Sometimes, we may not know the real cause of back pain and if it's not given proper attention then there are chances that the injury may get worse than expected. There are a bunch of reasons that could cause backache. Let me try and highlight some of the most common causes of back pain and their possible remedies.

For a majority of adults, Arthritis in the spinal cord is the main reason for backache. The pain may be felt in the upper or lower back and it may sometime get unbearable especially during the night. This can be minimized by practicing yoga or tai chi with the proper guidance of an expert.
Another common factor for back pain is Obesity. It is very common in people who are overweight or obese mainly because of the spine's inability to bear the excess weight of the upper part of the body. Take a diet rich in essential vitamins and calcium as it can help strengthen the bones. And regular exercise is a must!
Sleeping posture is another reason for back pain. Avoid sleeping on hard surfaces, especially on a plain floor.
Improper seating postures may also lead to backache. When you are at work, it wouldn't be possible to take breaks frequently. However, try to sit in an upright posture with an erect spine and do simple stretching exercises during your break.

People who had suffered injuries to the back in road accidents or those who have herniated discs are more likely to experience back pain frequently. This can be as a result of damaged tendons or torn ligaments in the back. People who belong to this category have to take a great amount of care to make sure that the injury is not aggravated. Avoid lifting weights as the injured back may not be able to tolerate the weights.
The most common mistake that most people do when they get back pain is taking pain killers (Ibuprofen, Aspirin etc). Mind you, these pills never help you to get rid of the pain. They stop the sensory nerves from passing information to the brain about the pain. This makes the body to be unaware of the pain. Moreover, they gradually wear out all the important organs in the body and create more problems. So avoid taking painkillers. Instead, look for natural remedies. All right, let me give you some simple, useful home remedies to treat backache.

Proper rest is very essential for the body to repair itself. Sleep in a position wherein you don't put too much strain on your back. This will be relaxing not only for the back but also for the entire body. And relaxing on a water bed can also be soothing to the back.
Using an Ice patch is a simple and effective remedy to minimize the effect of back pain. Gently massage the back with an Ice patch for about 3-5 times a day and you will find an improvement. Another interesting thing to note is that some people prefer using heating pads to treat back pain at home. However, try out both these methods and stick to the one that works best for your body.
Doing simple back exercises will help strengthen your back muscles and make them stronger.
Get a gentle back massage from your spouse or kids before going to bed every night.
Have a glass of milk before going to bed. Milk is rich in calcium and other important vitamins and acts as a natural relaxant for the body.
Acupuncture therapy is also helpful in treating back pain. However, it's up to you to decide which kind of treatment works well for your body. I hope these tips help.
