If you have suffered from lower back pain, you would know that there is not any specific or particular way in which it can be cured. Most of the lower back pain patients have to undergo a process of trial and error in case of treatments to find out which one works best for them. Traditionally, lower back problem was treated by focusing the medical approaches towards addressing the anatomical problems of the lower back of the patient. But nowadays it has been found that the pain can be reduced and prevented from returning by having a more multifaceted approach.
Some of the commonly overlooked remedies for back pain are listed below, which you can try if you are suffering from it.
- Our body naturally produces a hormone named endorphins. Endorphins when released in the body block the brain from registering any kind of pain signals. They can also help improve depression, stress and anxiety which are also associated with back pain. They can work as good as any manufactured pain medication.
- Insomnia is caused because of any kind of pain in the body and chronic back pain just makes it worse. It has been found that sleep disorders are quite common for people suffering from back pain. Also the pain can become worse due to inadequate sleep. Thus getting enough of that restorative sleep is also very important. So you need to address your sleep problems too in case you have any.
- Your lower spine is supported by the muscles present in your abs and back. In a typical day, these muscles don't really get a proper workout. So, these muscles need to be specifically targeted during exercise. You can contribute 20 to 30 minutes from your routine daily to perform some exercises targeted for these muscles. Remember to go easy on the exercises when you are starting out.
