Getting Rid Of Your Lower Back Pain
If you are worried because you are suffering from lower back pain, rest assured, you are not by yourself. There are many Americans and other people all over the world who deals with back pain regularly. There are a number of ways one can eliminate or even cure their back pain. One way is by taking pain medication, or OTC drugs, like advil, or goody powders. Although, this will only create a mask and will not cure the pain, if you stop taking the medicine, the pain will come back. The best way is a more natural way, and that involves eating healthy and exercising regularly. The best way in helping to cure back pain is by staying active and exercising daily. Since the pain medicines only provide a mask for the pain, you would have to take this medicine every day to find relief. This will hurt vital organs in the long run and the more you use your back, the worst the pain will get. If you really want to find the cure to your pain you need to start by exercising.
There are many exercises you can do at home to eliminate back pain, you do not need to join a gym to exercise. Before exercising take precautions to help in stopping the cause of your pain. Back pain is mainly caused by poor posture, and by sitting for long periods of time. It's best to stand and stretch when you have been sitting for longer than an hour. To help in correcting poor posture, you should invest in a lumbar support pillow. These pillows are sold in almost all the pharmacies.
To start to see relief from home, do these exercises daily. The first exercise is an ankle pump. How you do this is by laying down on your back and point the toes straight out in front of you and then bring them back towards you. What you will feel is a stretch in the lower back. Do this exercise for 5-10 minutes daily. This will help you to loosen the muscles in the lower back and that will cure some of the pain.
Another very common exercise one can do at home is known as a leg raise. Stay in the same position, and bend one of your legs. Then proceed to lift the leg that is straightened up in the air until you begin to feel pulling in your lower back. Keep the leg up in the air for just about 15 seconds and then lower and switch legs. Try this exercise for the same time of 5 to 10 minutes and switch back and forth from leg to leg. It's easiest to do this and the ankle pump together.
Once you have done these two exercises for roughly ten to fifteen minutes, roll over onto your stomach to do the next exercise, which is called a press up. Once you're in the position on your stomach, put your hands with the elbows out under your shoulders, as if you were going to do push ups. Proceed to do a push up, but keep the lower back and legs on the floor to allow your back to arch. Hold this position for 10-15 seconds and then relax. Do this over and over for again 5 to 10 minutes daily, and you will start to see some relief in the pain in your back. More great ways to exercise your back is by jogging, running or walking.

What type of activity/exercises should I do to strengthen my lower back?
Around one year ago, I had a tear in the cartilage on my L5 disc. I had to quit school and was in bed for around 2 months. I went to physio therapy for around 3 months and I recieved treatments with ultrasound and electrodes. When the pain started to lessen I started a weight program in order to strengthen my back muscles again. I can't run, play squash, do anything too rigorous without my lower back starting to hurt. I would love to be able to do all of these activities but I have to stregthen my back in order to do so. I would really like to know whether there is anyone who have gone through similar problems, or can just recommend some sort of exercise/activity which can give me the freedom to do all of the activities which I so dearly miss?
Also, my muscle on the side of my torso keeps on getting pulled, it can randomly happen when I am lifting weights or even bending over sideways...I believe that this might be contributing to my lower back pains and vice versa.
Thank you!
You need low impact exercise. I strongly suggest that you go back to your doctor and ask for further physical therapy, when you go you should ask for an exercise program that you can continue on at home. If the doctor does not put you back in physical therapy, I suggest you go by where you got this therapy before and ask them for home exercises. Usually when you have this type of injury they send home sheets of exercises for you to continue with after completing their physical therapy!
Hope this helps you in some way!
