Lower back pain is one of the most common body ailments that all ages of people both males and females are experiencing today. Even a minor pain in one’s back resists the victim from easily doing its day to day activities. A person may suffer from back pain because of overloading workplace activities, a sports injury, or home cleaning. The pain is often relieved by taking some rest and pain killer medication. If a person persistently experiences the pain, it is really important for him / her to see its doctor, get done with proper diagnosis, and have a quality treatment to avoid any sort of long term medical consequences. In the following paragraphs I have briefed 4 key ways to conquering low back pain and keep your spine in shape and pain-free:

 

Improve Your Posture

Sitting in wrong posture at your office desk or while watching TV on your sofa set is one of the most common factors contributing to backache.  Moreover, sitting, standing, or leaning in a single posture for long time also produces pain in one’s spine. Therefore, improve your body posture and avoid being in idle posture for long time to begin conquering low back pain.

 

Flex Your Body Muscles

It could be your rigid back muscles causing pain in your back. Therefore, loosen your tight muscles and flex your body to minimize the resistance in your body, improve flexibility of your back muscles, and alleviate persistent backache.

 

Make the Most of Yoga

Research has shown that even going once a week and practicing 75 minute yoga each day for 3 months can exceptionally help you in conquering low back pain.

 

Treat Your Back with Heat and Cold

When you are experiencing back pain, initially apply ice packs for 5 minutes, and then take those off for 5 minutes. Repeating it up to 30 minutes will relieve your pain. The next day, using a hot towel or heating pad will give it warmth and mitigate the tightness.
