The chance of developing back pain is about 84%. It is not a condition that can resolve itself, and it requires treatment to make life easier. Note that there is no universal cure for back pain. You have to find a treatment that works for you. There are a few natural back pain treatments, including: 

Exercise

Exercises are a lifesaver for patients with low back pain. Activities such as stretching and yoga can loosen any tension present in your muscles and strengthen your back muscles. These exercises should, however, be prescribed by a skilled physician as they know the best exercises that will not cause further strain. Exercise stimulates the release of endorphins that prevent the brain from registering pain signals. Yoga is also a good exercise for back pain, but you should avoid strenuous stretches. Once you settle into a routine, regular exercise can ease any back pain you experience. Be on the lookout for exercises that increase your pain and discontinue them immediately.

Posture and sleep

Most people spend the entire day sitting down, which is harmful as a bad sitting posture leads to back pain. One way to ease this pain is to correct your posture. You can adjust your sitting posture by ensuring your entire back is perfectly aligned to the chair. You can also bring your work desk and computer within reach to prevent the need for leaning or slumping. As an office manager, you should invest in good ergonomic chairs for back support that will increase worker productivity.

Also, you can change the way you sleep to prevent stress in your back muscles. One trick is to sleep with a pillow beneath your back or between your knees. You should also try to get quality and sufficient sleep. Insomnia and inadequate sleep can make back pains worse.

Meditation

Meditation has been in practice for centuries as a way of pain management. While it is not clear how meditation can help with pain management, it is thought that relaxing the mind will help with the ability to bear the pain. You can look up some meditation techniques online and set aside time every day to clear your mind and relax. There are different types of meditation, and you can try each one to know what works for you.

Mantra meditation is a good idea for beginners who find it hard to clear their mind altogether.

About Me
Backache Be Gone

Back pain can cripple you, especially when it is chronic. It can also leave you unable to work or carry out your daily responsibilities. I should know. I lived, and worked, with an undiagnosed back problem for just over a year. I was in constant pain, sleep deprived and barely had enough energy to get through each day. Fortunately, one visit to a chiropractor not only reduced the pain I was in, but also helped me to realize that it was my lazy posture while sitting at work that had caused the issue. If your back is leaving you in agony each day, you could benefit from a chiropractor. Join me on my blog as I share important information that I hope will equip you with the knowledge you need to begin your recovery.
