2. A lot of people complain that they have
backaches or that their spine feels really
heavy. This is a very common ailment
among people above thirty years old.
However, it is not a good idea to take
drugs in this situation because of the side
effects medicine can cause. That is why
there are a few methods for back pain
relief.

4. Now when someone is suffering from this
kind of ache, more often than not, the main
problem lies within the posture of that
person. People who frequently complain
about backaches are usually the ones who
are always slouching or arching their spine.
So the first thing to do is to get used to
sitting up straight all the time. Believe it or
not, the occurrences of pains will lessen if
one does this.
5. Sometimes sitting up straight does not
work straight away. So if the pain is too
unbearable, then one way to ease it is to
use a cold or hot compress. This soothes
the ache and allows one to continue
doing his daily routines with more ease.

7. However, a compress cannot exactly cure
the pain because it only lessens the
internal swelling. So the next best thing
to do is to get a massage. Masseurs deal
with these kinds of complaints every day.
Having a good massage will loosen the
cramped muscles of the back and take
away the stress. This will relieve the
backache.
8. Inthe long run, the best thing to do for these
kinds of pains is to begin a regular program
of exercise. Of course choosing the right
kind of exercise is important because a
workout that is too heavy and strenuous will
just make it worse. Some light exercise
routines like Tai Chi or Yoga which
encourage slow, flowing movements and
flexibility are great in preventing the
occurrence of back discomfort.
9. Now if the pain still pursues, then one has
no choice but to pay a visit to the doctor.
Usually the doctor would provide some
painkillers or suggest therapy to the
patient, but only do this if it is too painful
to bear. If it can be healed naturally, then
it would be better.

of back pain relief. It is always better not
to take medication for this ailment
because there could be some adverse
effects. Besides, these simple methods
are proven to work for a lot of people
most of the time.
