Self- care remedies have been around for years and they continue to be a very important part of Holistic Medicine.
Here are our TOP TEN natural remedies for a sore back:
1. THERAPEUTIC MASSAGE: massage therapy helps to relax the muscles and release Endorphins( a hormone that helps to alleviate anxiety, stress & depression, which are all associated with chronic back pain & can often make the pain worse.
2. Core Exercise: the AB & back muscles play a major role in supporting your lower spine. When these muscles are weak it adds stress to the lower back causing unwanted pain.
3. Hot & Cold Applications: cold packs reduce inflammation, acts as a local anesthetic, by slowing down nerve impulses and keeps the nerves from spasming. Hot packs, get the blood flowing, which promotes healing nutrients to the affected area.
4. Hamstring Stretches: The body is like a rope the leg muscles pull down on the muscle above it and so forth. Daily hamstring stretches will help to release the lower back muscles.
5. Chiropractic Care: Chiropractor's use spinal manipulation to restore joint mobility. Manually applying controlled force to joints that have become restricted by muscles injury, strain, inflammation and pain.
Remember, self-care should be done daily.
