1. Ways You Can Stop Suffering From Back Pain
Back pain strikes countless individuals and can range from a mild discomfort to a seriously disabling
condition. For some, it is brought on by a constant stress placed on the back through things like
heavy lifting or moving; while for others it can come from simply sitting still for far too long.
Don't stress out about a new back
pain. Lower back pain is very common,
especially among middle-aged
Americans. It is unlikely to be an
indicator of a more serious disease or
condition, and it will likely clear up
over time even if it is not treated by a
medical professional.
Avoid repeated stress on the same
muscles, no matter what position or
stance you are taking. Do not move
the same way for a long stretch of
time, especially when you are doing
tasks that you need to repeat, like cooking or cleaning. Don't stay completely still for too long if at all
possible.
Do not lift anything that is too far away from you. Always move closer to the object and do not twist
around to grab something like in the back seat of a car for example. Do not extend from the couch
and reach for things that are too far away either.
If you are suffering from back pain, try to do what you can to reduce your tension. Feeling stressed
or anxious will only cause your muscles to tense up more, worsening any muscle spasms you are
already having. You may find you feel a lot less tense if you make sure you are getting enough rest,
avoid caffeine, listen to soothing music and pray or meditate.
Pillow
Sleep on your side in order to prevent and alleviate back pain. Also, place a pillow between your
knees to help keep your spine in proper alignment. Sleeping on your stomach or back can result in
back pain, but sleeping on your side with knees slightly bent is helpful.

It is important that you do not sleep in the same position each night if you suffer from back pain. By
sleeping in the same position all night, you are allowing your spine to stiffen up which can cause
back pain. Be sure that you replace your mattress and pillow regularly.

can wake up feeling refreshed instead of sore. Consider buying a body-sized pillow for this purpose.
Taking a pillow with you on long drives can help to relieve back pain. By placing a soft pillow
between the small of your back and the seat of the automobile, you are creating a cushioned support
that will help you maintain proper posture when driving those long hours and thus help to decrease
back pain.
Sleep in the proper position to prevent back pain and avoid aggravating existing back pain. If you
sleep on your side, place a pillow between your knees. If you sleep on your back, try placing the
pillow under your knees. A firm mattress will also help to alleviate pain.
While you may not be able to reach in every corner and pull out every little thing that has a negative
