Make sure you're maintaining a proper weight. If you're overweight, particularly if that weight is in your upper body, you'll be putting a lot more pressure on your back and spine. By keeping an optimum weight, you'll make sure you're not putting too much stress on your back and spine.
If you sit for long periods of time, keep your feet slightly elevated on a stool or on a stack of books. Doing this will help keep your back aligned correctly and keep pressure from building. Make sure to take breaks, as well and work out those muscles.
When you are dealing with back pain, start with some basic techniques. Resting for a couple days can help, too. As you wait for relief, see if anti-inflammatory drugs such as naproxen, acetaminophen or ibuprofen provide any help. Of course, the tried-and-true methods of cold and heat, both separately or alternating, can help to calm down aching muscles
Having back pain? Get a massage. Getting a back massage will ease the sore tensed muscles in your back, and help to relieve the stress of back pain. Having a 30 minute massage either by a professional or a family member can produce long lasting relief from sore back muscles.
