Back Pain And Solution
Back pain is pain felt in the back that usually originates from the muscles, nerves, bones, joints or other structures in the spine. Back pain may have a sudden onset or can be a chronic pain; it can be constant or intermittent, stay in one place or radiate to other areas.Back pain is a common problem that affects most people at some point in their life. It usually feels like an ache, tension or stiffness in your back. The main symptom of lower back pain is pain in the lower back that may be felt as soreness, tension or stiffness.
Back pain can be of different types ranging from a constant dull ache to abrupt sharp soreness.
One gets back pain due to a sprain or other accidental injury. Arthritis and other diseases, like spinal stenosis (abnormal narrowing of the spinal canal that may occur in any of the regions of the spine), may also cause back pain. Many people also experience back pain due to the wrong posture.
These are some ways for back pain relief...
1. Sleep well: Always sleep on a firm surface for back pain relief rather than soft mattresses that push your back out of alignment. Also, sleep on your side to shrink any curve in your spine.
2. Exercise: One of the best remedies of back pain is regular exercise. According to health expert Kamini Subramaniam, "Simple exercise like walking can be very helpful as people gets out of their sitting posture and put their body in a neutral and upright position." For more exercises, it is always best to consult a physician or an orthopaedic and get a list of low-impact exercises suitable for your age as well as the types of pain that you have.
3. Quit smoking: Smoking doesn't just damage your lungs, it can also impair your back. According to Dr R Manoj, Smoking cuts blood flow to the lower spine and causes the spinal discs to degenerate. Studies show that smokers are more likely to have back pain than their peers who do not smoke.
4. Stretching: Stretching is also important to prevent back ache and stay flexible. It is a helpful way to recover from a back injury. Kamini says, "Always stretch before exercise or other strenuous physical activity and also before bed."
5. Keep a healthy weight: Maintaining a healthy weight can also reduce back pain. Eat a healthy diet filled with fruits and vegetables and reduce the intake of processed foods to avoid excessive weight. Staying fit is one of the best remedies for back pain as extra weight can stress your back causing further hurt.
But if the pain persists, then consult your Doctor.
