Relieve Back Pain Naturally

Sitting down for long hours can cause back pain. Hours commuting, sitting long hours at a desk. Or glued in front of a computer and ending up sitting in front of the TV. Your back still aching, you go to bed and wake up in the morning, not refreshed or renewed.

Medication is rarely a solution for mild or moderate back pain caused by poor posture. Natural remedies often prove as effective as expensive, and potentially harmful medicine. You don't have to live with back pain every day. There are easy fixes that will solve your problem.

Pain Creams

Consider creams with the naturally occurring ingredient Capsaicin. Chili peppers contain Capsaicin, which is what makes them hot to eat. This same heat is what will also bring you comfort. It will sting a bit, but this is natural and is a sign that it is working. Most drug stores carry this type of cream. Look for 0.025% concentration.

Ice Packs

Using ice packs and heating packs is also a great way to relieve back pain. Most people will resort to the heating pack but will forget about the ice pack. A heating pad is more comfortable than an ice pack. Yet, using heat too early could make the swelling and inflammation worse. Ice packs do a great job of reducing swelling and inflammation. If it is a new back pain (due to injury or overuse):

• On day 1, use ice packs for 10 minutes every 1 hour.
• Follow up with 3 times per day for the next two days.
• After that switch to heat to relax the muscles that might be tense.

Exercise Ball

A great thing that you can buy to help relieve back pain is an exercise ball. You could actually use it as a chair and it will help you with good posture. Convenient for intermittent exercises and stretches. One of the most beneficial stretches is using an exercise ball:

• Drape yourself over the ball, facing it.
• Wrap yourself around it with your knees and feet on the floor.
• Shrug your shoulders, pushing them forward As you drape over the ball.

The connection between your body and mind is stronger than you realize. Relieve back pain without expensive, invasive, and harmful methods. These exercises will help you get stronger, improve stamina, and find long-term relief.
