We have all had them, those moments when our backs suddenly go out on us. One minute you are bending over to tie your shoe and the next you are doubled over in pain clutching your back. It is not fun, and sometimes it can become a chronic problem that goes for weeks. At CoreHealth Wellness Center, we provide chiropractic care for back pain.

Our chiropractors will perform a spinal alignment and use other techniques to help ease your pain and get you back to your everyday life.  If you live in or around Oaklawn or Dallas and suffer from back pain, it is time to schedule an appointment. Let’s look at some of the remedies that can be used to help your back pain.

Heat

One of the simplest ways to deal with back pain is to apply heat to the area that is hurting. You can use a heating pad, hot towels, or an electric blanket if your back is really bad. Just be careful not to burn yourself with anything too hot.

Rest

Most of us find it impossible not to do things when we have back pain. After all, you have chores and responsibilities to take care of, and you cannot just sit around all day. But sometimes it is important to give your back a break. Resting will help the muscles in your back to heal and reduce the amount of pain you are feeling.

Exercise

Exercise can help relieve your back pain. It is not always easy to get motivated to do this when you are in pain, but it can help you maintain good posture and strengthen your back over time. Start with gentle exercises that do not strain or stretch your muscles too much. You can go for walks or stretches if this is comfortable for you.

Meditation

Meditation can also help relieve your back pain. When you are in pain, your mind is usually racing with thoughts of how much it hurts and how you can make the pain go away. Taking a few minutes to focus on your breath and clear your mind can help ease your pain.

Improve Your Posture

You can help ease your back pain by improving your posture. Good posture can go a long way towards preventing back pain in the first place by strengthening the muscles in your neck and spine.
