Lower back pain tops the list of health problems, causing uncounted numbers of visits to the doctor's office, and costing billions of dollars each year. The causes of this pain vary; many are from injuries caused by the improper lifting of objects, others due to slips and falls, and finally poor or incorrect posture. Arthritis, and disk degeneration over time, are medical causes.
The cost of treatment of lower back pain stands at a staggering $45-50 billion dollars a year. Many thousands of sufferers having this disabling condition have found 100% relief using the methods laid out below.
Lower back pain may range from dull aches to sharp pains and the commonest injuries are due to too tight or too weak muscles in the area surrounding the hip area, or poor posture or mobility of the upper back.
Every alternative treatment for back pain must be explored before surgery is decided on. It must be realized that expensive surgery has only a 20% rate of maintenance of success, after over two years.
Lower back pain can be fixed by merely having the desire to fix it, yourself. See these ideas:
Analyze the lower back pain: When did it start? How long ago? What did you do to start it? A specific instance which triggered pain may indicate a medical condition, needing attention. Pain that comes and goes may be solved using the techniques herein.
Analyze the actual pain: Is it sciatica? That is the pain that shoots down to your leg when you are in that particular position. Do the muscles around and about the waistline in back, spasm? Lower back pain can be agonizing but can be cured by you, and without medication. See below:
- Stop using a wallet or purse. If you carry your wallet in your back pocket and sit on it, or carry a purse, don’t. These could be causes of lower back pain. A wallet can be put in the front pocket or replaced by a money clip. The wallet can then be left in the car. A small portfolio can replace a large purse or even a shoulder bag.
- Change - your position. If you normally sit on your left buttock, or usually cross your legs, change that practice and sit on your right buttock and cross your ankles. Use a cushion, if you use a hard chair. Change the foot that you stand on. Change the place that you watch Television from, or at least the angle. It takes conscious efforts to break these habits, but changing simple activities cures lower back pain.
- Give it time. A month may pass and the lower back pain may seem chronic but the cure will come. Freedom from pain medications, freedom from alternative medicines, and most of all feel the feeling of self-achievement.
- Loose weight. Even being slightly overweight, may cause lower back pain as medical evidence suggests, so loose some weight. Serious dieting of course needs consultation with a physician.
