Lower Back Ache - Stop It!

Lower back ache and how to stop it. Sounds simple enough doesn't it, yet the statistics still say that lower back pain is the second most common reason you see your doctor for. The problem is this statistic never changes, and health statistics are getting worse.

This means there are more and more people just like you with lower back ache. You still search for answers and hopefully a cure. If you want to stop your back ache there are a few things you can do now. Below is a simple technique you can apply which will help.

As always, I state the following...

Back pain is created by 4 main issues - tight muscles, weak muscles, joint movement and pelvic balance. To get complete and permanent back pain relief, and to prevent back pain you need to address these 4 main factors. Otherwise you end up being one of the ever growing statistics - remember, the second most common reason to see your doctor, the 7% of adults right now suffering from back pain etc.

I digress...

To help your lower back pain there is a simple technique you can use that will help ease your pain. Especially if you spend a lot of time standing in your work or at home.

If you notice that the longer you stand the more your lower back or upper back get sore, you'll find the following tip particularly useful.

Place a book or block of wood about the height of a yellow pages phone book on the ground. Place one foot on the book and keep the other flat on the ground.

Stand like this; every half hour or hour, swap feet so that the other foot is on the book.

This changes the lower back posture and removes the majority of tension that builds and cause back pain.

This is great if you work in retail, in labs, on lines - or at any job where you stand all day.

It's also good to do if you're doing dishes, preparing food for a meal and so on.

Try it - you'll notice how easy it is to stand without getting back pain.

Lower back pain is common, especially in those that stand for work, or while doing chores at home at bench height. It can be very simple to ease and settle with using some simple and easy techniques. Please remember though, these type of techniques ease your lower back ache, they do not remove it totally - you still need to address the 4 main factors causing your back pain.
