How to Relieve Back Pain Without Drugs

Are you plagued with back pain? Are you the Weekend Warrior who wakes up on Monday morning with back pain or tightness? Would you rather avoid costly and sometimes dangerous prescription drugs? Try these remedies to help with your back pain.
Steps
1. First, make sure your back pain is not from a major injury like a fall or a car crash. Check with your physical therapist or physician to rule out spinal trauma or ruptured disc. These injuries will almost always require rehabilitation.
2. Once you are sure that there is no major trauma start your back pain recovery with simple basic exercises. The best and most beneficial recovery exercise for any back pain is to get out of bed or off the couch and start walking. Inactivity is clinical proven to make back pain worse! Begin your recovery program with (ideally) 30 minutes of daily walking.
3. Learn stretching or yoga to help align the joints of your body. Incorporating a daily stretching and yoga practice may helpto relive back pain. Stretching and yoga (for people in pain) are best learned from a physical therapist or yoga therapist.
4. Study tai chi to learn how to protect the spine by keeping it in an neutral position while pushing, pulling and lifting.
5. Practice meditation every day. Numerous medical studies have shown that much back pain is caused by mental stress! Practicing meditation allows you to relax the mind and the body and release tension that can be held in the back.
6. Develop a daily resistance (weight lifting) training program to improve your core (back and abdominal muscles). Before you begin and unless you are an experienced athlete, seek the advice of a certified personal trainer before you begin your resistance training program. Resistance training allows you to develop weak muscles that can cause your back to misaligned. Using resistance training is extremely beneficial for the development of a strong body core and relieving back pain. One of the best tools in resistance training is using a core ball during your workouts.
7. Change your outlook on life. Many times depression and loneliness can cause back pain. Getting out of your normal daily routine can do the trick to relieving back pain. Try volunteering one day a week for your favorite charity. Call a local senior citizens home and ask if you can visit a couple of times a month to help out. Get involved with your local community and seek out ways to help the community. Call your local hospital and ask how you can help out. Getting involved and helping other people is a great way to develop friends and get your mind off of your problems.
8. Get a dog! Getting a pet has two benefits for relieving back pain. First, it has been medically proven that owning a pet can lower blood pressure and relieve tension. Second, having a dog requires you to get outside and walk Fido. Dog owners tend to spend more time outdoors and receive more exercise. So grab that leash and go for a long walk.
9. Swim like a fish! Swimming is one of the best workouts you can do for a bad back. Not only does it open up stiff and sore muscles but your heart gets a great aerobic workout too. Go to your local YMCA or health club and jump in and swim. If you can’t swim sign up for lessons. You will be swimming like a fish in no time!

Tips
• Always check with your physical therapist or doctor before you begin a back pain recovery program.
• Start out slow and build up!
• Always seek the help of a physical therapist or personal trainer before you start a resistance training program.
• Get help on how to stretch and how to do yoga from a yoga therapist or physical therapist.
• Seek out local walking clubs in your area.
• Remember to not be scared of some minor pain during your recovery program.

Warnings
• Stop immediately if you have any numbness or unexplained weakness and go to your physical therapist or doctor.
• Get a physical therapists or doctors approval before you begin a back pain recovery program.
• Never attempt to do resistance training on your own or without the supervision of a physical therapist or certified personal trainer.

It can be a vicious cycle because when you don't get enough sleep, your back pain may feel worse. A poor sleep position can also aggravate back pain. Try lying on your side. Place a pillow between your knees to keep your spine in a neutral position and relieve strain on your back.

I would choose to be relieved of mental anguish. Physical pain goes away but mental anguish sticks around much longer. All the emotions that come with the mental anguish would be great to get rid of. If you are mentally tormented, your life feels like its much worse than it is and you don't want to do anything anyways. However, if you are in pain you may hurt but you are not feeling the emotions so you can still have a good view of life.

Cryotherapy (ice) is the best treatment for temporary relief of back pain. The best treatment for back pain should be based on diagnosing the cause of the back pain. Pain is merely a messenger telling us that something is wrong.

Try some ice, then see your family Chiropractor to determine the cause of your pain and to treat that cause.
