Free Back Pain Relief

Lower back pain home treatment

If lower back pain is originated in the muscles, then stretching, doing strengthening exercises and taking anti inflammatory meds such as ibuprofen may help.

If lower back pain originates in the bones, that’s a problem for doctors to handle.

If it is a muscle problem then,  do some stretches on a hard surface. Sit on the bare floor and try different stretch positions to see which ones cause the most pain, and work on those problem areas.

Besides that, you have to be more active and stop watching so much t.v. ! The core of the body is the most important part to maintain because his problems will only get worse in the future if you do not do some abdominal or lumbar exercises.

Investing in a heat pad will do some good too, but make sure to take aspirin or ibuprofen everyday. If in any doubt, go and see a doctor.

Back from taking a deep breath?

If you experience back pain from taking a deep breath mean there is a chance that you subluxated (partially displaced) a rib and you need to see a doctor.

This usually happens in the back from a traumatic incident, and can cause restricted and painful breathing. You also might have strained or bruised an intercostal muscle, located between the ribs. Either one would cause the symptoms you’re describing.

A chiropractor might help, as well as alternating heat and ice on the area. Start with 10 minutes of heat, end with 10 minutes of ice.

Gentle deep breathing exercises can help a displaced rib readjust  but do go and see your doctor.
