HOW TO RELIEVE
BACK PAIN
1. TO DO ENOUGH
SLEEP:
When you have backache, sleeping is often hard. It is often
a vicious cycle because when you don’t take better sleep, your back pain becomes
worst. A wrong sleep position also can increase back pain. Try lying on the bed
on one side. Adjusting a pillow between knee joints to stay your spine in a
neutral position, is an important method by which you relieve your back pain.
2. ADOPT A
CORRECT POSTURE:
Hang down is a poor
position for sitting because it increases your back pain, especially if you’re
sitting position for a long duration. Sit straight, together with your relaxing
shoulders and body has taken support from the back of the chair. You can adjust
a pillow or towel in a rolling position in between your back and seat. Keep your
feet correctly on the ground, it helps you to relieve and control back pain.
3. TAKE BETTER MEDICINES:
Two types of pain killer medicine relieve back
pain such as NSAIDs or acetaminophen. Every medicine has different side
effects, and some patients couldn’t able to take it properly. Ask your doctor
before taking medicines but keep in your mind sometimes only medication couldn’t
solve your problem. Sometimes your doctor has to prescribe skeletal muscle relaxants
with another pain killer which is better for patients.
4. ANTIDEPRESSANT MEDICINE PRESCRIBED:
Sometimes the patient is not in a depressive condition but the
doctor prescribed antidepressant drugs for the treatment of back pain, which is important for chronic patients
with backache. because indirectly antidepressant drugs affect patient mood and activate or motivate patients to do exercise or adopt better posture style.
5. PHYSIOTHERAPY TREATMENT:
Physical therapists have a very important role for backache
patients, they teach you the better position the stand, sit or move in such a
way that maintains your spine in proper position and alleviates your back in the
correct posture. They can also guide you to better exercises that give power to
your muscles and relieve back pain.
Researchers explain it increases flexibility or strength, and the
patient would feel better after continuously following the rules and pieces of
advice of a physiotherapist.
6. DO EXTRA HOURS OF REST DURING BACKACHE:
Doctors don’t want to advise long-time bedrest for backache patients
because it became worst for your muscles. If the patient thought that rest will
cover your pain, so it’s a wrong perception, only you can take 15-20 days of bed rest, after it you have to start your routine work to relieve back pain.
During backache, it’s important to
do exercise, yoga, swimming or walking. its gives strength and flexibility to the
patient’s back.
7. ICE OR WARM SPONGING:
Continuous applications of ice sponging to the effective areas
of the patient’s back may help decrease back pain and swelling. you have to do it several
times in a day of about 20 minutes to 30 minutes duration. Cover the ice pack in
a piece of cloth or towel to protect the skin from the extreme cooling effect.
After some days, the patient has to use heat sponging. Apply
a hot pad to keep your muscles relaxed and increase circulation. You can also
use a hot belt instead of a hot bag, you can adjust the temperature in it
according to your need.
8. ACUPUNCTURE TREATMENT METHOD:
Researchers collect some data according to the treatments of
chronic backache by which they stimulate nervous circulation to relieve chronic
back pain. Your neurologist has to add acupuncture to treatment if pain couldn’t
relieve from conservative treatment.
Another method that doctors prescribed is
to apply transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), due to it mild
electric pulses are given to the nerves which stop nerve circulation.
9. BIOFEEDBACK:
Biofeedback is a method in which a special machine helps patients
and it teaches your brain to change your response to pain. You learn how you
maintain your respiration, pulse, blood circulation, and muscle.
Some researchers said that it’s a better treatment than
medication for relieving back pain, and reducing the intensity of pain by about 30%
because it has no side effects.
10. PAIN MANAGEMENT TREATMENT BY SPINAL INJECTION:
A doctor prescribed a spinal injection to help to reduce
your backache. There are different types of injectable therapy that doctors prescribe
to relieve back pain. Might be it is corticosteroid injection that helps to reduce inflammation
which is the reason for blockage of the nervous system ineffective area. May
be doctor decided to do different sessions for it, as per need.
11. SURGICAL PROCEDURE:
If the surrounding disc is bulging and compressing
continuously on a nerve, your surgeon might recommend a discectomy to remove some
bulging discs. Or a laminectomy would be advised by a doctor to decompress the
specific area where pressure is applied on the spinal cord or nerves. fusion might
be done to stabilize the spines.
also a big risk and might be unsuccessful .so surgery is the last step to relieve back pain, it’s an optional plan.
