Our body works in a systematic way and any exploitation of the designed mechanism will lead to problems like back aches. The remedy to this is not medicines, but thoughtful and efficient steps. This article provides you with few effective cures for back pain.

 

Straight erect posture is the key to get rid of any form of back pain. Good posture can reduce our chances of back pain. We slump because our back muscles are tired of holding us up straight, and this lack of energy of the back muscle is because of the bad posture in which we sit, stand, walk and carry ourselves. If you want to get rid of your back pain, it is vital for you to shift to the right posture of carrying your body.

 

Weight loss is another effective measure that you can take up to get rid of all your back problems. Extra weight will always lead to different types of back problems. An excessive weight becomes impossible for our lower part of the body to balance leading to stressful back. You need to start working seriously towards maintaining healthy weight for your body structure.

 

The kind of a mechanical life we lead, we hardly get any time to provide some sort of exercise to our body. This so called ‘comfortable’ life can also be one of the problems of back pain and other back related traumas in near future. It is very important for the body parts to change position from time to time or else they will get rigid and will start paining. Therefore, to save yourself from the risk of any back problems make sure that you change your position or stretch your back and limbs constantly.

 

Exercise is the best way to get rid of any form of body problem. Join a gym, take up dance classes, learn swimming or sports like martial arts or get involved in any activity that provides movement to all your body parts. Providing a stipulated time of exercise to your body every day will prove out to be very effective against back pain.

 

Hot and cold therapy can also be very helpful for back pain. Heat therapy relaxes the muscles and soothes away the pain, and the cold therapy numbs down the pain and relieves the muscle from all tensions. Taking a long hot bath, heating pads and warm compresses can all work wonders for back pain. You can shift between hot and cold to get benefits from both the methods by applying heat to the pain for 15 min and then switch to cold compresses like ice-pack, frozen vegetable pack etc for another 15 minutes.

Another effective benefit of getting a pet with regard to back pain is that having a pet like a dog means you will have to take it out for a walk and play with it. This will give you enough exercise and your back and limbs enough movement for them to function freely.

 

Avoid as far as possible to involve yourself repeatedly in the same kind of action or motion such as bending, twisting, turning and lifting. These continuous movements will cause stress to the back. But, if you don’t have any choice, try and be wise in your actions, like if you want to lift something get down on your knees, keep your back straight and then lift the item.
