Simple Ways to Relieve Back Pain Without Surgery

Back pain is a condition that affects people of all ages. When you have back pain, it can affect your quality of life in many ways. For example, it may prevent you from playing with your children or grandchildren or just enjoying the outdoors on a nice day. And if your job consists of sitting at a desk all day, back problems and pain are common.

The good news is there are several simple things you can do to relieve back pain without surgery! This blog post will go over five steps to ease back pain- no surgery required!

Exercise Frequently

Exercise can help reduce pain. You can do them in a variety of ways, such as walking or swimming. There are also specific exercises that help with back pain, such as Pilates and Yoga. 

Regardless of the type of exercise you do, it is essential in strengthening your core muscles. They will provide stability while carrying out movements that help decrease muscle strain on your spine.

See a Chiropractor

A chiropractic adjustment is an effective way to relieve back pain without surgery. It can be diagnosed and treated by a chiropractor, trained in the spine’s anatomy. A typical appointment will include a physical exam, x-rays if necessary, and adjustments that may also involve soft tissue work or mobilization/manipulation. 

The goal is not only getting relief from your current symptoms but long-term health through improved posture (changes in spinal alignment), reduced inflammation (increased blood flow), and overall relaxation (less muscle tension).

Get Better Sleep

Many individuals experience back pain due to a lack of sleep. Carrying extra weight can also cause strain on the spine, leading to chronic pain and spinal deterioration. Therefore, it is essential for individuals who experience any discomfort or pain while sleeping to take precautions such as getting adequate rest. 

One way you can get better sleep is by using pillows that support your head correctly and allow your neck muscles not to be tense all night long. You should use two separate pillows: one under the knees, another behind the head with both elbows bent at 90 degrees from each other, so there’s no pressure on them when lying down flat on your back. 

Improve Your Sleeping Posture

Improving sleeping posture starts with choosing a mattress that is supportive and comfortable. Pillows also play an essential role in keeping the spine aligned when you’re asleep, so they should be of good quality too. 

Keep your neck from being bent or twisted by using pillows to support your head at different angles while you sleep on your back, side, or stomach. Remember not to pile up more than two pillows under your head; this will only cause strain on one area of the neck instead of distributing it across all parts.

Try Dry Needling

Dry needling therapy is a manual, hands-on treatment that uses an acupuncture needle to stimulate the body’s natural healing abilities. It helps release trigger points in muscles and improve muscle function by inserting needles near the pain point. 

Dry needling is also great for chronic pain caused by neck tension or poor posture. This technique is effective for treating sciatica, frozen shoulder, and post-surgical back pain. 

In conclusion, there are several things you can do to help relieve back pain without surgery. Exercise, see a chiropractor, get better sleep and improve your sleeping posture have all been shown to reduce and eliminate the need for surgical intervention. And you can help avoid future problems by looking for insoles that have a lot of arch support, to help reduce the strain on the plantar fascia
