DealDash Helps Lower Back Pain
Lower back pain is a huge problem for a large part of the population. Here are some tips and tricks from DealDash.
Are you one of the hundreds of thousands of Americans with pain in your lower back? Millions of people worldwide suffer from pain in their lower back, but that doesn’t mean that you have to just accept the pain in your life. No matter if it’s from an injury, illness, or just plain old-fashioned aging, lower back pain can be soothed with the right treatment. Here are some tips and tricks from DealDash to help you.
Diagnose the Problem
Before you figure out a treatment plan for your back pain, you need to figure out why your back is in pain. There are many reasons why you might be having lower back pain such as poor posture, an accident or injury, aging, weight gain, arthritis, or something else. The best thing for you to do is to go see your doctor so they can diagnose your problem, and give you some pointers for at-home treatment. If your problem is more serious they might suggest physical therapy or even surgery.
Work on Your Posture
If you have a serious back injury correcting your posture won’t fix it, but if your particular back pain originates from bad posture, then this could completely take away your lower back pain. The lower back is particularly susceptible to pain caused by bad posture. This is because your lower back supports a large portion of your weight. According to WebMD, here is the key to having good posture:
From the side: Your earlobe, the tip of your shoulder, your hip, your knee, and your ankle should make a straight line, separating the front of your body from the back.
From the front: Your shoulders and hips should be level, your kneecaps facing ahead, your ankles straight, head not tilted.
Check yourself throughout the day and adjust. (Your mom was also right about practice makes perfect.)
Practice “standing tall” and breathing from your diaphragm. Not only is this good for body is does wonders for appearance.
Get Instant Pain Relief
If you need some instant pain relief, luckily there are plenty of over-the-counter medications that can make your lower back pain feel much better. Take over-the-counter ibuprofen as directed by the package. Ibuprofen will help ease any inflammation and help control the pain on a chemical level. Aspirin will make your back feel better quickly. Please be sure to keep your medications out of the hands of children, aspirin is especially dangerous for children.
