how to get rid of back pain?

Answer 1

Try a massage as often it is muscular tension/spasms that cause pain...i am a masseuse and cure many people of their pain. Also, i always advise heat by wheatbags or those patches you can buy that heat up if pain is constant. If pain is related to bones, then a chiropractor would be good. Try anti-inflammatory gel also. Hope this helps.

Answer 2

I am prejudiced. A chiropractor removed my back pain - cleared it completely out - in one, forty-minute, visit. That made a big impression. I still believe in this approach. It can get rid of it for you, period. If you are a bit doubting of this, no problem. I fully realize (and respect) it isn't for everyone. If you can use an ice pack on your lower lumbar vertebrae (lower back, right down by your waistline) for about twenty minutes now and then, maybe two or three times a day, this will truly reduce the inflammation and "splinting" (nearby muscles tightening up around the hurt site so you don't hurt yourself further - a natural process, by the way). The old ice pack thing helps all that inflammation and swelling and pressure shrink down, that lessens the pressure, and you feel better. I truly hope this is not an issue for you for very long, and you find relief quickly. If it wants to drag on and make you miserable, I strongly urge you to begin with chiropractic. Of course, I would. It worked for me. No matter what you opt for, for your solution, this is sent to you with good energies from Chris in South Portland, Maine, U.S.A.

Answer 3

If you've been having a problem for a while it may be best to get a medical assessment of the exact source of the pain, so the best route to healing can be identified.

I recently discovered a new website that offers a one stop assessment. They send you for a scan which helps to identify the source of the pain. Then a physio and consultant give you advice on the best route to treatment.

Answer 4

I am no doctor but i find that strengthening your core muscles will help as some back pain can be caused by weakness in these areas, if not then its still a good regime to get into as it will help support weakness in your back anyway, try a sports therapist and get diagnosed, all the best.

Yoga For Back Pain

Back pain is one of the most common problems facing today’s generation due to improper posture, continuous sitting and sedentary lifestyle. One of the most recommended treatments for back pain is yoga. But you need to be aware of the postures that can benefit you as some postures can worsen the problem. Here we give you a brief overview of the yoga postures that can help you. But these exercises should be performed slowly for a period of 5-10 seconds or till you feel discomfort. Do these postures under the expert guidance on a mat or soft surface.

Corpse: Lie on the floor with back on the floor. Relax and let your arms hang loosely by your side, palms downward and knees slightly outside. If you back hurts with your knees outside, you can bend them with feet flat on the ground. Inhale and exhale for few moments, releasing the tension from the body.

Cat Stretch: Crawl on all your fours keeping your back flat. Position your hands directly below the shoulders, fingers widespread and knees below the hips. Hold the head loose as you look down between the hands. Inhale and while exhaling, raise your back upward. Bring your chin close to chest to gaze at your navel and tailbone tucked below. Hold this pose and then return to the starting pose.

Answer 6

Stretch, Stretch, Stretch. I suffer from low back pain myself. The only thing I've found that prevents my back from hurting is stretching every morning when I get out of bed. Also ice. If you just hurt your back you should ice for the first 48hrs then you can go to moist heat. But don't put heat on first, that will only intensify the problem. Search the net for some stretching exercises for your back. It'll make a major difference.

Answer 7

Try codeine from the doctor or buy a Tens Machine.
These both give the desired affect but if you need pain relief quickly go to a acupuncturist these work well but only for short periods of time.

Answer 8

I don't know but I wish I did as my back is really palying up since the weekend! No matter what I do it never seems to make any differnce! If I sit down for any length of time it is hard to get up off the sofa and then moving is a bit stiff until I get back into a more straight position.

It is fine when I am in bed, but as soon as I get up it starts again!

So if you find out let me know please!

Answer 9

depends on how bad and which part of the back it is...heat treatment is fairly good with aches..before you get out of bed,lay flat-out on your back and slowly and gently raise your knees three or four times to get the spinal fluids moving,it will help with the stiffness of your back..if all else fails,try alchol and a couple of pain killers..

Answer 10

Bit of a vague question...There are books you can buy which cover this subject.People suffer back pain for all kinds of reasons...you need to be more specific in your question.
