Here are Ten Simple Natural Pain Relief “Secrets” for Pain In Your Back:

1.  Be responsible for your own wellness.  No one cares about your pain as much as you do.  You might have to do your own research and make decisions to take action or change behaviors.

2.  Take good care of your body:  Feed it wholesome foods and avoid fake foods and additives.  Highly processed food has all of the nutrition stripped away.  Sure, sometimes some stuff is added back in but don’t be fooled–most of the good stuff is gone.  Also, chemicals are added which bodies do NOT like.  Muscles need minerals to function well so consider taking a multi-vitamin/mineral supplement.

3.  Reduce your stress.  Yoga, meditation, deep breathing, walking, stretching or other exercise can all help.

4.  Improve your posture.  In a nutshell, strengthen the muscles in the back of your body from your knees up and lengthen the muscles in the front of your body and calves.

5.  Stretch in the correct directions.  Usually the muscles that need stretching are in the front of your body and the ones that complain are in the back.

6.  Breathe deeply.  Breathing deeply moves your ribs and muscles are attached to your ribs so it helps them relax.

7.  Get enough sleep.  And sleep in a position that doesn’t aggravate your back.

8.  Drink sufficient water.  When your muscles are well-hydrated they will function better.

9.  Become knowledgeable about your body and the causes of your pain and know this:  Back pain symptoms lie all the time.  Just because it hurts ‘there‘ doesn’t mean the problem is ‘there.’

10.Do what you need to do to become pain-free, naturally.  Educate yourself and take action.
