8 Simple Tips To Tackle Back Pain



Back pain is incredibly common. Nearly everyone has experienced back pain at some point in time. However, instead of popping a pill, you can take some simple measures to decrease the intensity of the pain. While it is important to see a doctor if you have chronic pain, you can make his work much easier by using the tips given below.

How chronic back hurts you
  • It makes you dependent on others to complete even simple daily activities.
  • It interferes with your ability to work.
  • Chronic pain can lead to depression and anxiety.
  • Back pain can lower the overall quality of your life

Tips for back pain

1. Lose extra weight: The excess fat puts a lot of strain on the bones and muscles in the upper body. The strain on the back increases enormously. Thus, you should look to losing at least 5 kilograms. This will help decrease back pain.

2. Get exercise: While this may seem strange, most doctors suggest light exercise even to those with chronic back pain. This will help to strengthen the back muscles and increase blood circulation.

3. Make your workplace ergonomics: Get a chair which is high enough to support your entire back. Make sure it is soft enough to provide support and comfort. Remember to avoid slumping in front of the desk. Take a 10 minute break for every hour you work. Use the break to do simple stretching exercises.

4. Sleep well: The best position to sleep is on your side with the knees bent. You can keep the upper knee on another pillow to decrease stress on the hip muscles. Avoid sleeping on your stomach as it puts enormous stress on the neck and back muscles.  

5. Do meditation: This will allow you to focus your attention away from the pain. Several studies have shown that people who meditate for just 20 minutes a day feel less pain and are able to work better in spite of having back pain.

6. Don’t wear brace for long: While a brace can provide support to the back muscles, prolonged wearing can weaken the muscles. So don’t wear a brace for more than 30 minutes a day.

7. Don’t’ smoke: The nicotine present in tobacco tends to intensify the pain sensation while interfering with the medication you take. Smoking is incredibly harmful for your lungs and should be avoided at all cost.

8. Consult the specialists: You can use the above tips to control the pain, but don’t forget that you need to consult a doctor. For maximum benefit, visit a specialized clinic which deals with chronic pain problems.
