Acute Lower Back Pain? Try These Tips for Relief! Lower back pain is one of the most common health complaints heard by doctors and chiropractors. Most people experience back pain for the first time between the ages of 20 to 40 years old, and unfortunately, their first encounter is rarely their last - up to 65% of back pain sufferers experience a recurrence of pain within a year or two. In addition to making you uncomfortable and limiting your ability to enjoy life, back pain can be an indication of a serious medical disorder. In many cases, resting only aggravates pain and lead to worse health problems. Anti-inflammatory medication and prescription muscle relaxers are less than ideal for long-term use and they do little to speed recovery. What can be done to ease lower back pain? Many remedies for back pain are based on the location and cause of the pain. • Heat packs ease lower back pain and are more helpful than icing the pain. • Holistic alternative pain relief, including massage and acupuncture, can be very effective for easing back pain of all types. It also reduces your risk for developing pain. Want more tips on avoiding and easing acute lower back pain? Contact us at 954.491.3103 today!
