Lower Back Pain Treatment

What Would Llife be Like Without Lower Back Pain

Lower back pain treatment opens as many questions as it does answers.

• Can you treat your self, and if so how effective is it?

• Should you see a practitioner, but what if it costs you the earth?

• Are remedies or supplements the ideal cure, but do they work?

• Or are you doomed to rely on medication or at worse surgery?

Lower back pain is both a common and debilitating condition. It affects almost 80% of the adult population and is the second biggest cause of seeing a doctor. Yet lower back pain treatment is still a confusing and at times frustrating issue.

Lower back pain treatment can be simple. But first you need to know what the causes of lower back pain are and therefore what you need to address. So what areas need to be looked at if you want to be free of lower back pain?

There are 4 areas that cause most lower back pain. Fail to target these and your lower back pain will either not disappear... or return soon to haunt you again. So what are these 4 areas you need to address?

Muscle Tension

Almost everyone has heard that any lower back pain treatment regime needs to address muscle tension. You will see literally hundreds of sites and books on muscle stretches. But the most important aspect of stretching is not what to stretch. The most important part of lower back stretches is how and when to stretch. So when is the best time to stretch?

Muscle Weakness

With a tight muscle you can have an opposite muscle that is too weak. Do you need to lift weights to strengthen this muscle? In fact – most gym exercises will not target the muscles that cause lower back pain. To improve their strength, you need to use lower back exercises that improve the nerve and blood supply to the muscles. Fail to do this and the muscle strength will not improve. Can you improve your nerve and blood supply?

Inflammation

In the first 48 hours, use ice. If inflammation exists, using ice in the first two days will eliminate it. If the lower back pain is chronic and inflammation exists, then supplements, Acupressure or medication may be needed. The options are wide when inflammation is present. The most effective is the method that works best for you.

Until now this is the area of seeing a practitioner. As progress has been made in the various structural fields, re-aligning your spine and adjusting your joints can now be done painlessly, effectively and by you at home. How can you learn to re-align your spine?

It is your joints that allow the muscles to tighten, or if the muscles tighten it is the joints that become stiff and sore. Either way, to eliminate lower back pain permanently, you need to address all the factors involved.

Now you know what you need to address, the final question is…

Who should you see? Or can you treat your self?

The answer is just as simple. If you have had a fall or injury then it always is advisable to seek professional help. This way you can rule out any potentially serious condition and have treatment for lower back pain as soon as an injury occurs.

If your lower back pain has occurred from what seems like normal day to day life. You may have lifted something you’ve lifted many times before.
