i always have a back ache what is teh best way to cure it?

Answer 1

this procedure is for long term back pain elimination but it is also one of the most important means of immediate relief. First I will describe the pose, and then I will tell you how to become limber enough to achieve the pose.

Legs Up the Wall
Clear a spot in front of a blank wall. Lay on the floor with your legs straight up resting on the wall, hands at your sides. (How you slide into this position is up to you, there are a few ways.) Relax and pay attention to your breathing, making sure to completely fill your lungs. Scan your body for muscles that you could relax more without losing correctness of form. Feet should point forward, knees fully extended, heels reaching upwards, spine and neck straightened by and elongated on the floor. Arms at sides with fingers or palms up wall by default, but also try straight up parallel to legs, or clasped behind head on floor (good neck stretch) If legs fall asleep, pull down to chest for 10 seconds and put back up. Do not fall asleep in this pose. Do not bother with this pose if you don't intend to go at least 15 minutes. Even wearing clean socks, this pose leaves marks on my wall over time. I find that tying or belting my feet together so that I do not need to consciously keep them straight makes my own stretch more correct. You might also try tying or belting your knees together or to the wall. You want to relax as many muscles as possible. You might benefit from folded or rolled towels under your lower back.

Hold the stretch until the sensation is too intensely bad to reasonably continue. At first it will feel like nothing, and you'll wonder why I've typed all of this out. After awhile, your muscles will start to realize what's going on, and you'll get that stretching type pain. Then, after probably 15 minutes or so for a new practictioner, your back will start to feel just plain wrong, like you are damaging it by laying there. Gently roll out and lay on the floor for a minute or two, and you're done.

If you cannot reach a straight up-and-down angle, then a less than straight angle will be fine. Bend your knees or sit back further from the wall. Use towels for padding or to reduce the intensity of the stretch. Be creative in steadily approaching your goal of approximately-correct form.

Practice this stretch up to 2 times per day. Before and after sleep, or before and after a strenuous activity. Eventually you will be able to do the stretch for much longer, and will need it much less often.

Everybody is built differently, and some back problems/injuries will not allow you to use this stretch, but otherwise if you can achieve near correct form and be able to hold it for a half an hour or more, you should be largely impervious to back pain, especially lower.

Answer 2

whatever you do, don't go to the chiropracter..that's bad advise btw
it depends on where it hurts and what time of day it hurts. if it's lower back, and it hurts when you wake up in the morning. just do that streatching excerices it really works.

lay on your back and bring one knee at a time towards your chest and hold for 20 seconds then bring both knees...if you do this at least 6 to 7 times a day every 2 hrs. which btw i did for 8 months and it worked..now i can work out up to 1-1/2 3 to 4 days a week. a weak back can only improve with time ...trust me. it will help and don't do any lifting or excercise for a while till you start seeing some improvement.

Answer 3

Mild stretching exercises may help if it is muscle pain. Try alternating ice and heat on it also. Massage Therapy can really help and some insurances will pay for it ....go to a Physical Therapist they can give you the proper ways to stretch out your back and some stregthening excercises too.If it continues to worsen see a Dr to be sure it's nothing serious.

Answer 4

If its muscular pain then heat it for about 10 mins with a hot water bottle, after that 10 mins is up cool it with some ice. Keep doing this for about an hour. If its nerve pain then you should go see a chroprater. However if it is more serious then you must go and see your GP as I have done and been refered to an orthopeadic surgen.

Answer 5

I had a time where I would get back pain constantly. I went to chiropractor, massage therapist, doctors and although they gave me good pain relievers (skelactin, anaprox, expensive massages, etc) the pain would always come back. I did not want to live on meds (I was in my early 20s) so I decided to practice yoga. My sister gave me a DVD called something like yoga for back relief, it helped me a lot. In my case I discovered my pain had do to stress, so now I have to make a constant decision everyday no to carry everything on my BACK (literally).

Answer 6

Go see your doctor. it depends on what is causing your back pain. if its muscles you might need to see a physio, if its something deeper you may be able to have something done on it surgery wise. I suffered with back pain for years and it was eventually diagnosed as degenerative disc disease so now every few years i have to have the nerves in my spine fried to stop the pain for a while! it works and sure i wish i didn't have to have it done but the alterntive is no good!

find out the root of the problem then worry about treatment ;)

Answer 7

lose weight (if obese)
avoid lifting heavy objects
don't bend
do muscle strengthening exercises
use some pain-killers (at least initially)
hot-fomentation of your back (use infra-red lamps if possible)

if nothing helps,

get an x-ray of your back
get an expert opinion by a neurosurgeon or an anaesthetist trained in pain-management

Answer 9

be mindful of posture. the wrong posture not only makes your back hurt, but it also puts your spinal cord in unnatural positions that will cause it to be more vulnerable to discomfort and disease in the future.

always make sure you walk and sit with a straight back.
a nice massage will help get things off to a good start.

when all else fails, do go and see a chiropractor.

Answer 10

put heat patches on it or get a massage
or go to a motto and go on the massage chairs
