If you've ever groaned, "Oh, my aching back!", you are not alone. Back pain is one of the most common medical problems, affecting 8 out of 10 people at some point during their lives. Back pain can range from a dull, constant ache to a sudden, sharp pain. Acute back pain comes on suddenly and usually lasts from a few days to a few weeks. Back pain is called chronic if it lasts for more than three months.

 

Most back pain goes away on its own, though it may take awhile. Taking over-the-counter pain relievers and resting can help. However, staying in bed for more than 1 or 2 days can make it worse. There are some mild excercises you can do to instantly relieve back pain:

Try this on the floor or on your bed. Lay on your back, bend your knees and bring them towards your chest as far as they will go. wrap your arms around your legs to hold them in place. Stay this way until you are completely relaxed. While in this position, slowly sway from right to left and rock forwards and backwards. Doing this will relax the muscles in your back and relieve alot of pain.

In standing position, place each hand on each thigh and slowy bend forward, holding onto your legs for support. As you bend lower, move your hands downward while gripping your legs for support. Go as low as you can and remain for 2 minutes. Slowly stand up, allow your hands to crawl up your legs for support as you stand. Do this as often as needed and you will notice that you are able to sit longer, stand longer, and move around more freely.

If your back pain is severe or doesn't improve after three days, you should call your health care provider. You should also get medical attention if you have back pain following an injury.
