The Modern Cause of Back Pain

Back pain is not as uncommon as you might think. Our lifestyles are putting more and more strain on our backs.

Unfortunately, they can contribute to back and neck pain because we are tense and have rounded shoulders.

Besides, we continue to work (many of us) in environments where we sit for long periods, at desks glued to our computers. For some people, sitting in a chair for more than 40 hours a week is the fastest way to develop back pain that hurts! Even if the symptoms don't last very long, they can start to affect people daily.

The worst part is that when you get lower back pain, it can seem so hard to get rid of it. You try to rub it or massage it or stretch it - and yet it still hurts.

You try to get up and walk around and then ten minutes later it hurts again. It can be frustrating.

Exercises for the lower back

(Even celebrities and professional athletes do it to manage back pain)

Exercise 1 - (Duration: 5-10 minutes)

How to do it:

Lie on your back with both legs bent at a right angle on either a chair or a block

Place your hands on your stomach or place your hands at your sides below shoulder level, palms up

Breathe from your stomach. Let your lower back relax.

Hold the position for 5-10 minutes

Exercise two

How to do it:

Lie on your back with one leg resting on a chair, knee bent at 90 degrees, while the other leg is extended straight and resting on the floor.

Make sure both feet are aligned with your hips and shoulders

The foot of the extended leg should be supported upright to prevent rolling to one side

Stay in this position for a few minutes and then do the same on the other side.

Smart Disc Problems

Problems with the vertebral disc are very painful. They haunt you with excruciating and shooting pain. A vertebral is a plate or disk of cartilage and fiber that contains the nucleus pulpous, a mass of white elastic fiber at its center located between the vertebrae or bones of the spine. Disc problems tend to get worse with age. Aggravation or any injury or any stress can cause a painful disorder known as a slipped disc, herniated disc, pinched nerve, or ruptured disc. In a herniated disc, when the disc ruptures or slips, the white elastic fibers protrude through the cartilage and put pressure on the adjacent nerve root, generating excruciating pain in the affected area. A herniated disc can sometimes be completely painless, but a degenerative disc can cause intense pain. Degenerative means that the condition is likely to get worse over time. Most patients with a degenerative disc will periodically experience continuous tolerable pain followed by increasing intensity of pain that will ...
