25 Natural Ways to Relieve Back Pain Today

The first group of 25 natural ways to relieve back pain involves stretching. To do this, you need to hold each position for 5-8 seconds and not bounce or make quick movements. Don't move past the pain. If you are in pain, you need to stop.

Stretching moves:

1. Lie face down on an exercise ball and move your shoulders slightly forward.

2. After sitting for a long time, stand up and place your hands on your lower back. Then press your shoulders back and your hips forward.

3. Lie face up on the floor. Pull one knee toward your chest and then pull the other leg toward your chest.

4. While holding the above position, rotate the lower half of your torso to the left and align your knees to the 10 o'clock position. Then point it to the right at the 2 o'clock position. Remember to hold each position for 5-8 seconds.

5. While lying faceup on the floor, bend your legs at the knees and place your feet flat on the floor. Slowly push your hip area up until you form a bridge. The second group of 25 natural ways to relieve back pain includes strengthening your back.

6. Do Hindu-style squats. This strengthens your lower back so you can handle daily rigor.

7. Do sit-ups. Sit-ups strengthen your abdominal muscles but also relieve strain on your back muscles.

8. The Superman position. Lie face down and lift your torso and legs so that your body forms a bowl and hold the position for a few seconds.

9. The backward fly. Bend over at about 90 degrees, use a 5 to 10 pound weight in each hand, and then raise both arms straight out.

10. Raise the opposite arm and leg. Get on all fours, fully extend one of your arms and then lift the opposite leg, then switch to the other arm and leg.

11. Drink lots of water.

12. Avoid too much sugar and carbonated drinks.

13. Eat foods rich in vitamin B-12.

14. Increase your calcium levels.

15. Eat foods rich in magnesium.

Good posture when standing or sitting:

16. If you sit for long periods of time, use some type of lumbar support for your lower back.

17. When sitting or standing, sit with your back toward your stomach and your shoulders back.

18. When standing or sitting, prop one foot on a step stool.

19. If you must stand for long periods of time, keep your chest up, shoulders pushed back, and your body directly on the floor.

20. If you have to sit at a desk for long periods of time, turn your computer monitor to a higher setting so you don't have to look down. Make sure to keep your head straight. The fifth and final group of 25 natural ways to relieve back pain includes exercise.

21. When sitting for a long time, lean to the right and left. Make sure you continue to adapt.

22. Walk more. Walking strengthens your back muscles.

23. Bend down to touch your toes.

24. Make sure you move your head.
