Lower Right Back Pain

Would You Like to Run, Jump and Play Without It?

Lower Right Back Pain is a common form of lower back pain . No matter what it is, you don’t want it and you definitely don’t need it. After all who wants to have pain trying to get out of a chair, bending or lifting or just trying to do your normal daily work?

The pain you are experiencing is actually called Sacro-iliac pain. Lower back pain traditionally is central and comes from the spine. If you have lower left back pain or right side back pain, it comes from the Sacro-iliac joint. This is the joint out from the spine and links your spine to your pelvis.

There are two problems you face:

1. The Sacro-iliac joint does not have a disc to protect it

2. You use this joint in almost every lower back movement

The causes of your lower right back pain are no different to the causes of lower back pain in general. It can occur from falls, injuries, lifting or general daily use or over-use.

Because the joints have no disc, any right side back pain is more irritating. The joint will swell quicker and the muscles and ligaments around the joint therefore become inflamed also. Then with every movement you aggravate it.

Right side back pain can be debilitating. You may notice your pain is worse if you try to get out of a chair or getting out of bed or with any movement once you have rested for a while.

As I said before… almost every movement you make requires the Sacro-iliac joint to move. Every movement you make will cause your right side back pain to flare up. But is rest your only answer?

In fact – the best cure for lower right back pain is to keep moving. Sure if movement is painful you should rest. In the first 48 hours ice is your best option to try to reduce any inflammation. However, even in this time frame, movement is best to keep the joint moving. Going for a gentle walk will aid recovery and ease tension quickly.

Stretches for this joint are an option once inflammation has eased. Balancing the pelvis is still the most ideal treatment plan for right side back pain.

The best stretch for the any lower back pain is the standard knee to chest pull. This will stretch the joint, but it may be uncomfortable initially. The problem is this…

When the lower right back pain occurs, the left joint also tends to tighten. Stretching does not correct both joints as usually the right joint may be tight moving forward, the left will be tight in the opposite direction.

This is why pelvic balancing techniques are the ideal cure for lower right back pain, or lower left back pain. In reality – pelvic balance is essential for all lower back pain issues. If the pelvis is out of alignment, the lower back joints will not function correctly.

Correcting lower right back pain needs to address the three essential areas:

• re-align the pelvis

• stretch and strengthen the supporting muscles

• release all lower back joints that are tight

I know this sounds complicated, but this can all be achieved through many techniques you can use at home. Lower back stretches and lower back exercises can correct the muscle imbalances. Releasing the joints and re-aligning the pelvis are easy with simple and highly effective adjustive techniques .

Lower right back pain is simply cured. It requires an approach different to other lower back pain issues. But it is easy to correct. The Back Pain Advisor strives to give you expert advice, tips and tools to eliminate your lower right back pain.
