Better Sleeping Posture
- A poor sleeping posture can aggravate back pain.
- Try sleeping on the side and place a pillow between the knees to keep the spine in a neutral position.
- This will relieve the strain on the lower back.
Physical Therapy
- Physical therapy can help you by teaching you how to sit, stand and sleep in a proper posture.
- A physical therapist also teaches you specialized back exercises that help strengthen the core muscles in the back.
Do Not Resort To Bed Rest
- Gone are those days where bed rest helped relieve body aches.
- Now lying down is one of the worst things that you can do to cure your aching back.
- Don’t rest too many hours in a day and try to keep an active schedule during the day.
Alternative Cold and Hot Treatments
- Regular application of ice packs to the lower back can help reduce inflammation and pain.
- Keep an ice pack for at least 20 minutes in a day.
- After a few days switch to heat treatment.
- Applying a heat pack helps relax muscles and increases blood flow to the area.
