How to Get Lasting Lower Back Pain Relief

In this article we are going to look at how you can get long lasting lower back pain relief.

Lower back ache tends to build up over time and then something will set it off, like lifting a child or the groceries out of the car. You bend, lift or twist awkwardly and your back just goes and it is agony.

Lower back ache is usually caused by some form of muscular problem. As you will probably know there are many treatments that your doctor or physio recommend for relieving problems in the lower back. However they tend to only treat the symptoms and not treat the cause of the problem.

Treatments such as muscle relaxants, massage and heat therapy do relieve a bad back but they don't help in treating the root cause of the problem. Physio therapists have a better chance of helping you with back exercises and stretching but in a lot of cases the exercises they give you are generalized to strengthen all your back muscles and once again don't treat the root cause of your back problem.

To get completely cured from lower back pain you should be trying to find what caused the pain in the first place. Then you should be looking for something to treat the cause of the pain.

In a lot of cases the root cause of a lower bad back is muscle misalignment, this means that muscles that should be working together are not and are working against each other. Over time these misaligned muscles will work on our bones, tendons, muscles or cartilage and will cause them to become damaged or worn and eventually they will break down. A bit like a car that has a wheel misaligned, the tyres will wear out differently, the same sort of thing happens in your body.

To resolve this problem and correct the misaligned muscles you will have to work at stretching and strengthening the muscles that are causing the problems so that they will once again work together. Once these muscle problems are fixed you will have long lasting lower back pain relief.
