any ideas to relieve back pain .?


Question:
i suffer from back strain . anytime i do exercise or something that involves a lot of movement my back gets sore . any ideas that can ease the pain ?

Answers:
I find lying on the floor (back down) for about twenty minutes each day (in the evening) helps at first you have to arch your back because it is painfull to make it go flat straight away but after a couple of minutes it will be very comfortable. went to one of those back doctors, waste of time and money! Hope this helps

Have you tried massage? Should do the works. :)

i go to an oesteopath but its expensive ! cheap way of relief is pilate classes . its all to do with yer posture!

get someone to give you a massage, pay them some money to do it for like an hour..

Believe it or not.My doctor started prescribing me LIPITOR for my cholesterol. Shortly after I began taking it my back problems disappeared!

stretching warm ups before exercise
aleve is great for muscle aches
soak in tub or hot tub

Book a massage that uses hot stone therapy. Absolutely amazing. Works a treat :).

Try getting a stim machine. May be a little expensive. This machine shoots electric currents into back muscle. Use it with heat prior to exercising. Once you finish exercising, use ice on your back. You can also opt to use the maching w/ice overtop the patch after working out. If you can't afford stim machine, stretch and heat muscle prior to exercise and ice back after exercise.

Div. I NCAA Athlete. Use this every practice and game afer injurying back.

soak in a good hot bath,rub your back if u can , and rub downwadrs,put ben gay on it, or a muscal rub

are you overweight? does your job requires sitting for longer time? do some stretching and if it does not help,
Visit your ortho, he might request for an MRI.
chances are you have scoliosis, a disc herniation, etc.etc.
at least your worry stops and your pain managed.

Stretch out your back, try laying in a tanning bed (One of my friends told me that. She said it worked), and you could try to go see uh.what are they called. Muscle people, work on your back? I think you know what I mean. A, uh, "specialist", I guess. Good luck with your back.

Seriously go to Yoga. Have a word with the instructor and tell them the problem. I had a few probs with knees and two months later they were virtually gone.

Good luck!

Be steady & Relax and Have some light exercise regulary. it works for me.. Hope it will be helpfull for u also.

posture! sit up straight, when you turn use your shoulders not just your neck,support your back when you are sittin or lying down, if a new injury then try heat or ice which ever feels better and antiinflammatory drugs

Get checked with your doctor. It could be as simple as a weak back or it could be something major like a slipped or herniated disk. I would suggest going to the doctor NOW to eliminate the wondering.

I would also invest in a better mattress and pillow to support your back and neck.
