Do you have that annoying soreness or tender spot on your lower back? That sore spot is called “low-back pain”. It can be excruciating for people who are sitting or standing. For some people, it may not happen at all. If so, then no one should sit straight in a chair and experience this painful, dull ache. So today I am going to share the techniques and remedies which will help you to get rid of that terrible nagging pain. Let's start by talking about the causes of low-back pains.
Causes
There are two main reasons why a person gets back pain at some point in their life. Firstly, it could be an injury to the knee. This is most common for people who suffer from osteoarthritis or fibromyalgia disorder. The second reason is musculoskeletal problems.
Symptoms
In some cases, the symptoms could be very mild. On other occasions, they are severe. They also have trouble walking upright on either side of the body. Sometimes they may even have trouble lifting the weight. Some people experience aching pains often accompanied by numbness and tingling. These people generally may be able to move around more than others. Many times the cause would be quite localized. Such as being in a car accident or falling over, for example.
However, many people are affected by this kind of pain and have multiple factors involved in the cause. Someone having diabetes could be causing this type of pain. Someone suffering from anxiety could be pulling something off their chest which is rubbing nerves like nerves or nerve endings we know stress does not help with the pain. Stress will only increase it. There is also a possibility of injuries caused by a sports injury, such as a shoulder injury or knee injury. Physical injury can also impact someone’s mental health. One person may be dealing with another serious chronic illness.
Secondly, speak to your GP if you have a high risk of arthritis. Medications like opioids have been used for a long time to help treat pain but that has not worked for everyone.
Painkillers
There is plenty of research showing that the best drug to treat pain and reduce pain is a natural therapy. Low-dose paracetamol and ibuprofen are most commonly being prescribed for all types of pain. Natural treatments work as well as prescription drugs. Research shows that pain can be controlled by using natural products. Several natural substances are particularly useful when treating back pain. Some examples of these include; green tea extract, peppermint extract, chamomile, coffee, ginger, and cloves. Green tea extract is a great remedy when it comes to treating neck and back pain. It increases the levels of dopamine in the brain which helps relieve pain. Peppermint is used to ease muscle tension and improve flexibility. Chamomiles have anti-inflammatory properties, helping to calm down inflammation in joints, muscles, and joints. Coffee and its compounds help calm nerves down, making them less sensitive to pain. Cloves may treat cancer symptoms and are known to stop pain signals passing in and out of cells. Gums and oils have a similar effect and can calm down nerve endings and lymph nodes. Other traditional products have been found effective as well. Lavender oil helps people sleep better and helps with chronic pain like arthritis. Cranberry juice helps to calm nerves down and soothe swelling of the glands and muscles. However, this is sometimes forgotten in busy lifestyles.
Natural Remedies
To begin, I feel that certain methods aren't as easy to do. If you find new ways of relieving the pain you need to share these methods publicly which is good. Below are my top six pain relief methods by order of popularity.
1) Acupuncture
Acupuncture is said to prevent pain and eliminate the root of the problem. Its uses are pretty varied too. Most people believe that acupuncture works by stimulating the central nervous system (CNS), which controls various bodily systems. Some people believe the CNS is responsible for controlling digestion, breathing, heartbeat, balance, and vision. Others believe that it operates through neurons in the spinal cord or the brain, which mediate sensory signals between the CNS and other body systems. Acupuncture stimulates nerve impulses that provide sensations of pressure, warmth, light touch, and other sensations. The main method is by inserting a thin wire into the skin and wrapping a coil around it so that it passes around and around the center of the body to stimulate nerves throughout the body. The device works with pain and is available online.
2) Traditional Chinese Medicine
Chinese medicine is another traditional remedy, used to treat back pain. It is called "shuo hong" meaning the medical doctor. The goal of this treatment is mainly to promote healing or detoxification. Research shows that Shuang hong can heal painful spots and promote proper regeneration and release of the damaged tissue. More research is needed but the evidence of Chinese medicinal plants on human health is still limited.
3) Ayurveda
The Hindu religion sees it as a system of philosophy and faith-based practice that tries to maintain harmony within and between all living beings. According to research, ayurvedic medicine can be effective when people have a bad back. It refers to the ancient beliefs and practices which came from the Greek belief in the power of health and wisdom.
4) Homeopathy
Homeopathy has a huge influence on public health in India and can be traced back centuries. In India, the word was first mentioned by Thomas Linley, a physician of Kolkata, Bengaluru, and Mysuru.
5) Yoga & Meditation
Yoga is perhaps the most famous form of exercise around the world. It combines various forms of physical exercise with religious meditation. Unlike conventional exercise, yoga requires intense focus, effort, and discipline. Yoga relieves pain as well as improves function and quality of life in those who have it. The most popular form is aerial yoga. It consists of four-point poses (asanas) performed in front of a closed mirror, each pose is performed three times in succession. It is believed to strengthen the whole body while calming the mind.
6) Tai Chi
Tai chi is also known as Hsi and originated in China. Though it is mostly practiced in Japan, Taiwan is expanding its activities in western countries in America as well. Tai chi offers peace of mind, relaxation, and physical and emotional well-being. It teaches harmony and respect between man and nature, especially for those with health issues. Tai chi has come under criticism due to a lack of scientific backing. Nevertheless, there is growing acceptance, both among doctors and patients.
7) Pilates
Pilates involves strengthening the postural muscles by engaging in a series of moves with weights and resistance bands. Research shows that it increases flexibility by stimulating muscles directly. Various studies show that it alleviates pain by creating mobility in the body. Apart from relieving pain, pilates also improves posture for both men and women. It is sometimes used as part of rehabilitation programs for people with debilitating diseases.
8) Walking
There are different types of walking. Sitting poses are the oldest form of walking. Sitting poses cause the lower back to become tight, painful, and swollen. Standing poses cause the back muscles to stiffen, stretch out and cause pain in various areas of the body. Both poses improve health and function. While sitting poses require attention to balance and proper alignment, standing poses require little effort and less flexibility.
9) Jumping
In martial arts, jumping is considered one of the most difficult and dangerous feats. Two-footedness is required to perform this feat. It is used for combat and it is the easiest part of any jiujitsu class.
10) Swimming
It allows the body to burn calories more efficiently and blood circulation. It is a relatively old art form and it is used traditionally among older people in society. It is popular in Europe where it is practiced in rivers, lakes, and oceans.
11) TaeKwon (Korean style stretching)
