Should you worry about your back ache?

Most people think of aches as being less than pain. Which is true, except aches lead to pain.

An ache is caused by a few muscles beginning to tire and tighten. As the muscle tires the muscle fails to work effectively, stiffness occurs and an ache develops.

Any ache in your back is an early sign of impending back pain, and hence now is the best time to take action. Relieving back pain now is simple and quick, all you need to do is target the muscles that are tiring and ease their tension.

One of the quickest ways to ease tension is to stretch the muscles, something you are well aware of. But to stop the tiredness you also need to stimulate the muscle or it will tire and tighten again quickly.

You need to improve the blood and nerve supply. Blood supply can be temporarily helped by going for a gentle walk, which helps improve circulation and allows you to change position and ease muscle tension.

This is why getting away from your desk and going for a walk helps with back ache. It is also a good idea to make this a regular pattern to help prevent back pain.

For long term back pain relief you need to stimulate various reflexes to improve the nerve and blood supply. These reflexes tend to slow as joints and muscles become out of balance.

A common reflex relating to lower back pain is on the low back itself, just out from the spine in that dimple area. All you need to do is rub the area in a circular motion for about 15 seconds and you can stimulate the nerve and blood supply to a few lower back muscles.

Doing this once or twice a day can help relieve back pain quickly, but again is only a temporary measure. You still need to remove all the causes of your backache or pain will still develop with time.
