Back pain can be really limiting as it saps energy and motivation. Back pain treatment is needed to keep enjoying those favored activities, and even just to get some restful sleep.
Back pain may make you feel tense, irritable and be even chronic. Reasons for the pain may be simple backaches, knots and tension; money worries may prevent a back pain treatment by visiting a massage therapist or chiropractor. Lack of insurance for physical therapy is another hindrance for back pain treatment.
Some inexpensive methods and natural cures to manage and relieve your back pain are given and all you will need are Epsom Salt, a Tennis Ball, a Heating Pad, Essential Oils, Ibuprofen and Acetaminophen.
• Take a bath using one pound of Epsom salts. This will replace once week visits, extended for one month, to a massage therapist. A warm-hot bath with one pound of Epsom salt dissolved in it, once a week, brings relief as a back pain treatment and prevents back and neck tension.
• Tennis Ball Massage – brings relief to tight muscles or knots in your back and is an effective back pain treatment. Lie down on a flat surface; face up with the tennis ball placed under the back. The starting place may be at the waist under the muscle group named erector spinae, the long muscle that runs vertically along both sides of the spine. After placing the ball, start breathing and exhaling with long deep breaths, imagining the muscle relaxing right into the ball, making it press deeper into your muscle. After a few deep breaths, the ball may be gently slid up an inch and then repeated, until the whole lower back has been attended to.
A particularly tender or knotted area will need longer attention. The release may feel like a small elastic band snapping. The shoulders and neck may need adjustment of the ball, to find the right spot. This system provides very good back pain treatment, relieves pain and helps falling asleep.
• Heating pad – Excellent back pain treatment. Can be made using an old hand towel and rice by heating in the microwave for 2 minutes. Application to the sore shoulder and neck will relieve pain. While traveling, commercial adhesive heating pads may be used.
• Raindrop Therapy – A very therapeutic back pain treatment. Needs someone's help. The technique involves the use of essential oils and heat which will penetrate your back and relieve pain. The oils heat up and will work automatically in the areas that need it. Please see "How to Give Yourself Raindrop Therapy" for full instructions.
• Lack of time for any of the above, may indicate back pain treatment by using ibuprofen. 3-4 tablets of ibuprofen and 2 of acetaminophen will be just as effective as a mild dose of a prescription painkiller. Over the counter medication does need a prior check with the doctor on health conditions or current medications.
