Early Treatment for Lower Back Pain

Self care for a healthy body could mean going on walks, not lifting heavy weights at the gym, consuming CBD for pain management (just google search for ‘cbd store near me’ and you’ll find plenty) or going through different therapies. If your pain isn’t controllable, surgery might be the last resort.

Self Care Tips to Treat Lower Back Pain Before It Gets Severe

Take Frequent Rest Breaks During the Day

Whatever it is that you’re doing, take breaks from it. If your job requires you to be on foot all day, find time to sit and give rest to your feet. If your job requires you to sit all day, find time to stand and walk around. If you get paid for strenuous activities all day, find time to stretch, give your muscles some relief and even lie down every few hours if that’s a possibility.

Short Rest Period

Lower back pain is one reason that can keep you tied to your comforter, even in the middle of the week. But we have to resist the urge of very long rest periods. Keeping your body moving, even if slightly, is just as important as letting your body rest.

Reduced Strenuous Activities

This one’s scary, even at a young age. Lifting extremely heavy weights can lead to a bunch of spinal disc alignment issues, chronic joint pain dysfunctions or inflammation. We’re not trying to scare you or advocate against workouts, you just have to take it slow and not jump weight classes.

Regular Exercise and Physical Therapy

Sitting around and doing nothing is just as harmful as doing too much. Your body gets accustomed to being at rest all the time, and goes through minimal periods of mobility.

Heat/Ice Therapy

Heat and ice therapy works perfectly when complemented with light exercises, physical therapy or just as a means to relax the muscles and relieve pain. Your post workout routine can include hot baths or oil massages that can help relax the muscles. Or you can apply hot water packs over stiff muscles.
