7 Ways to Stop Low Back Pain

Stephanie Modkins
Suffer from low back pain? If so, you're in good company. According to the American Chiropractic Association, 31 million Americans endure this type of malady at any given time. Stop your misery with one (or more) of seven remedies. These cures will attack the source of your affliction.

1- Take Advil daily. Advil contains ibroprofen, an anti-inflammatory drug. Take one or two pills a day. This practice will reduce any swelling of tissue and; as a result, stop your low back pain. If you consume the liquid capsule form of this medication, you'll get immediate comfort.

2- Replace your bed. A lumpy, old mattress will aggravate your lower back. Replace your bed on a regular basis (every 5 years) and lessen the reoccurrence of any aches and pangs. Opt for a high-end brand that's firm and roomy, so you can stretch out.

3- Do back stretches. Exercise is key if you want to stop low back pain. Loosen tight muscles that give you trouble in this area by stretching twice a week. Try this popular one - get on all fours, arch your back and hold it for a few seconds. You will feel relief instantly!

4- See a chiropractor. A chiropractor is a medical professional that understands how to manipulate the human spine. Visit one three times a month and let him readjust yours. Each session lasts between 15 to 30 minutes and involves direct force to specific joints.

5- Sleep on your side. An easy way to stop your low back pain is by sleeping in a different position. By lying on your side with a pillow between your knees, you relieve pressure along your vertebral column. As a consequence, you also alleviate any distress.

6- Lose excess weight. Extra pounds negatively impact your back. The "fat" strains and inflames this region. Give yourself a break by losing weight. Start by focusing on eating fruits and vegetables that strengthen your body and help you fight disease - follow-up by walking twenty minutes a day.

7- Wear supportive gear. Stop lower back pain by wearing supportive undergarments. You can find these types of items in any department store. Ones that wrap around your waist are usually the most comfortable to don.
