How to relieve neck pain

First, make sure your back pain is not from a major injury like a fall or a car crash. Check with your physician to rule out spinal trauma or ruptured disc. These injuries will almost always require rehabilitation.

Once you are sure that there is no major trauma start your back pain recovery with simple basic exercises. The best and most beneficial recovery exercise for any back pain is to get out of bed or off the couch and start walking. Inactivity is clinical proven to make back pain worse! Begin your recovery program with (ideally) 30 minutes of daily walking.

Learn stretching or yoga to help align the joints of your body. Incorporating a daily stretching and yoga practice may help to relieve back pain. Stretching and yoga (for people in pain) are best learned from a physical therapist or yoga therapist.

Study tai chi to learn how to protect the spine by keeping it in an neutral position while pushing, pulling and lifting.

Practice meditation every day. Numerous medical studies have shown that much back pain is caused by mental stress! Practicing meditation allows you to relax the mind and the body and release tension that can be held in the back.

Develop a daily resistance (weight lifting) training program to improve your core (back and abdominal muscles). Before you begin and unless you are an experienced athlete, seek the advice of a certified personal trainer before you begin your resistance training program. Resistance training allows you to develop weak muscles that can cause your back to misaligned. Using resistance training is extremely beneficial for the development of a strong body core and relieving back pain. One of the best tools in resistance training is using a core ball during your workouts.

How to relieve back pain

Find out what is causing the pain. Pain is your body's way of telling you something is wrong. Go to a physical therapist, doctor or chiropractor and explain the pain.

Realize that some lower back problems are caused by bad posture. A physical therapist or a chiropractor can help you learn correct posture.

Learn safe & effective stretches to improve flexibility, take pressure off of joints and make good posture easier to maintain.

Learn to stabilize the low back using leg and abdominal muscles.

The most common cause of lower back pain is weakened Abdominal muscles which can be created by tight hip flexors and erector spinae muscles. To stimulate the weakened Abdominals rub your inner thigh as there is neuro-lymphatic reflex there which increases the strength of the muscle - combine this with abdominal exercises (not sit-ups) and the Abdominals will strengthen. Stretch the Hip Flexors and the Erector Spinae before you do the Abdominal exercise. This will strengthen the low back although you may need to get the lower spine moving freely also for permanent relief.
