Tips on How to Alleviate Your Back Pain

By Donna Stark

I get them all the time in the mail. Postcards, newsletters, binders full of information, all promising me happiness and riches galore if I simply follow the tips that are being offered inside of them. Usually, there is a price involved in the process but they tell me that shouldn't be a concern. As the mailings say, I should count myself lucky since I was one of the chosen few to be selected and since the tips being offered are apparently "top secret." Now don't get me wrong. I think a list of tips can be helpful in many situations. In fact, I have a list for you as well. But what differentiates my list from the others is that I'm not going to ask you for a dime and honestly, none of it is top secret, but it's still good to review and you may even find some value to it.

Tips on How to Alleviate Your Back Pain

If you are suffering from back pain that lingers for more than a couple of days, you may want to take some action. Here is my list of suggestions on things you can try. They aren't top secret, but they may be able to help. Take a look.

• Stretching - The truth is, you still need to move, and while this may sound painful, stretching can help! Ask your local chiropractor at The Joint Chiropractic for some appropriate stretches to add to your normal routine.
• Take a screen detox - Although it may sound like a dream for many, too much time sitting on the couch watching TV, playing video games, or looking at your cell phone can be very harmful to your back. Limit the amount of time you spend doing so and take plenty of breaks!
• Manage your stress - Back and neck muscles can become overly tight when dealing with a lot of stress which can be painful on its own, but in addition to that, it can also pull your spine out of alignment as well. So, find what works best for you in regards to lowering your stress levels and do it often.
• Get adjusted - Your local chiropractors at The Joint Chiropractic know a thing or two about back pain and they can help you find relief. Placing your spine in proper alignment and providing precise adjustments that target the root cause of your pain is exactly what they do best and is one tip that you will not want to ignore!

Happiness and Riches

Remember, you don't have to live with pain, so take some action and try some of the tips above! There is nothing top secret about any of them, but they definitely have the potential to bring you plenty of happiness and riches in the form of pain-free days!
