  2.  Back pain is one of the most common issues that every individual goes through at least once in their lifetime.  With some the problem may occur periodically like once in a year and with some once or twice.  Occasional back pain is a common thing and almost 84% of the adults face it.

  3. Various Methods to get Relief from Back Pain: Training/Exercise:  Before going for any medications it’s quite a decent idea to practice some back pain management exercises.  Exercise training is one of the most effective ways to treat the common back pain.  Many of the doctors recommend the patient to perform some workout, which will help train the flexibility of the muscle like Pilates.  With daily exercise the patient may cope with slip disc difficulty and may get better relief.

  4. Reduce long hours of Bed Rest:  Many a times the pangs that are felt in the back could be so harsh that the one might feel like having a bed rest.  Of course bed rest is allowed, but one must be aware of how long one is lying in bed.  Now, this might sound surprising but resting in bed for a longer period of time can cause more pain.  So omitting long hours of bed rest can eliminate back pain by keeping the body active. Keeping those muscles move will ultimately minimize back pain in the long run.

  5. Heat & Cold Treatments: Talking about back pain and its relief treatment, the application of ice packs, or hot bag seems to work wonder. At times it’s even seen that those who have applied both had more effect on the pain. Even professionals use both cold and heat treatment to cure back pains alongside other treatments such as spinal manipulation. Physical Therapy: Physical therapy when mixed with spinal manipulation results to be extremely effective way for treating back pain and reduce discomfort. It helps strengthening the back. A treatment routine of physical therapy besides back exercises often undergoes stretching out the muscles, strength training, and with low-aerobic exercises. These are all non-surgical treatment though.

  6. Adjust Office sitting arrangements: Most of the people at present spend long hours working sitting on chairs, totally humped over computer screens. If proper sitting ergonomics isn’t adopted then it can lead to back, shoulder, and neck pain. Thus to enhance workstation set-up place the computer monitor at eye-level, minimum 20 inches away from the face. Invest in a comfy chair with lower back support and arm-rest. Medications: The fastest, safest and the steadiest way to reduce the back pain are by consuming drugs. For those who suffer from mild back pain physicians generally offer the lowest dosage, while on the other hand patients suffering from moderate to high back pain the doctor proposes anti- inflammatory drugs along with muscle relaxants.
