There"s No Need to Put Up With Constant Back Pain
There's no need to put up with constant back pain..
..
There can't be many people who never have back pain of any sort.
Even those who take great care of every move they make, spend hours in the gym and are fit and healthy in almost every sense of the word will occasionally get back pain.
The first option for many people when they get a sore back is to go and see their physician (GP) and request pain killers.
There are some instances when pain killers can help but for many people who suffer from chronic (on going or regular occurrences of back pain a much more proactive stance would help keep them pain free.
Acute or Chronic? In sports we have terms for sports injuries that broadly speaking define the type of injury.
To an extent these terms can be applied to back pain and problems.
An acute problem or injury is one that has happened suddenly or a seemingly as a result of a one off incident.
A chronic problem or injury is generally one that has happened as a build up underlying issues and doesn't appear to have a single cause.
To give the analogy of a cyclist and the two types of injuries.
If the cyclists crashes their bike the injuries sustained are considered likely to be acute.
If the cyclists gets a sore knee that they feel gradually building up with continued riding the injury is likely to be chronic.
In terms of a back pain or problem if you have been unfortunate enough to be in a car crash parts the back injuries sustained will likely be acute.
Most back pain even it appears to come on suddenly or as a result of some activity or other.
The key issues could be described as:
The last time I got a sore back was several years ago.
I hadn't been too extreme about what I was doing.
I was breaking up and stacking firewood ready for the winter.
After doing the task for a couple of hours, I felt a touch of soreness in my back for the rest of the evening.
The next morning I could barely move.
I could therefore identify what I had done (breaking up and stacking firewood) to contribute to the problem.
How you do it If you are doing tasks that may contribute to back pain problems, how you do those tasks is going to be part of the underlying problem.
Referring to the same occasion, I had been stacking logs (none of which weighed a great deal) and breaking them up in a confined area.
What this meant was that my posture for the task was less than ideal, which increased the stresses that my back was put under.
Therefore I could identify how I had done it (lifting in a confined space in a less than ideal way).
Your muscle strengths, weaknesses and balances All of our muscle strengths, weaknesses and balances (the relative differences between certain muscle groups) can have an impact on the likelihood of getting back pain problems, but especially those around your lower back area.
Any pain your or injury you get - even if it appears to be an acute problem - is likely to be influenced by your own personal strengths, weaknesses and imbalances.
For many people increasing the strength of certain muscle groups will help reduce the incidence of back pain.
This doesn't need to be too technical or too much but it's definitely something worth doing for yourself.
We all have parts of us that could be improved by increasing our own muscle strengths, in different areas and sometimes the balance between two muscle groups.
Other things that you do How ever you perceive to have injured your back it's not generally possible to keep that in isolation to the rest of your life.
The way you sit at work,, the bed you lie on, other activities that you do or don't do will all have an impact on any back pain problems.
Even if (as in the situation described above) there appears to be be one main thing that triggers it off).
The key with solving your own back pain problems is to look for solutions that are pertinent to you and the problems you have.
Most people will have to adopt a multi faceted approach to get rid of their back pain problems.
Most back pain problems will have an underlying issues behind it.
If you treat your back pain as a problem to be solved not just pain to get rid of you will be well on your way to getting rid of your pain and more importantly any underlying problems once and for all.
