3 Simple Solutions for Easing Back Pain

By Genevieve Cunningham

There are very few people in the world who will escape the troubling symptom of back pain. It seems as though as we age, back pain comes along with the years. Sometimes the pain is mild and intermittent, and other times it’s completely debilitating. No matter which kind of back pain from which you suffer, you would probably like to know how to get rid of it. No one enjoys living with pain, and fortunately in most cases, you don’t have to. Take a look at these common solutions for dealing with back pain.

For Mild Pain

If you have intermittent or mild pain, you may be able to use management methods such as over-the-counter pain relievers, low impact exercise, or the application of heat. All of these work to decrease the effects of inflammation. They’ll also be useful in providing enough relief from pain to improve the range of motion of the affected area. If the pain is extreme or ongoing, these options may not be enough to get the job done. The only downside? These types of management techniques provide temporary relief, so for any pain that is long lasting, you may need something much stronger.

For Serious Pain

When the pain is intense or causing major breakdowns in lifestyle, you may be looking for options such as prescription medication or ongoing exercise. In the short term, doctors will likely prescribe you a powerful painkiller in order to dull the pain. In the long-term, they may suggest exercise and stretching to get your back in better general shape. The problem? Though exercise is a good idea in almost all cases, prescription medication can bring its own wealth of side effects including addiction. It’s also not a solution that aims to correct your situation. It may help with the relief of pain temporarily, but it does little to keep pain from returning in the future.

For All Kinds of Pain

If you want a pain management solution that may alleviate pain as well as prevent future pains, chiropractic care is your best option. Chiropractors focus on aligning the spine properly and keeping it that way. This may help to diminish current pains, and because these misalignments may be the source of the pain, it may help keep the pains away in the future. Chiropractic care is an excellent option for mild pain, serious pain, and anything in between.
