"BACK PAIN SUCKS!"
If you have ever suffered from back pain, you know exactly what I a talking about.
If you are reading this, it means either you or someone you care about is suffering from some form of back.
So, let's not bore you with statistics on back pain, let's cut right to the chase and give you some ideas on how you can get ride of your back pain once and for all.
First thing, if you have been suffering from back pain, please have it checked out by a physician. There are a lot of causes of back pain and you need to know what is causing your pain. So, lets say that you have seen your physician and stuff like fractures and tumors have been ruled out and the cause of your back pain is mechanical (degeneration, disc, joint and muscles problems).
Here are some things you might want to try;
Rub Magnesium Oil on your back, legs and butt. I am not going to go into all the details on magnesium oil, you can "Google" that. Let's just say that Magnesium Oil can help with stiff and tight muscle, so try it.
As long as it doesn't cause you pain, do some deep squats and lunges.
This will help loosen up the leg and butt muscles that are often related to back pain.
Do some self myofascial release or some self massage. There are many was you can "massage" your own muscles. Again rather than going into a lot of detail on the many different ways you can massage your own muscle, I will give a list and then you can look them up on YouTube.
"Google" these:
"Foam Roller Exercises"
"The Stick Massage"
'Self Myofascial Release"
4. Loosen up your hips. Stand up, lift your knee up as high as you can, move your knee as far away from your body as you can and then drop it back to the ground. When you do this you might feel a clicking in your groin area. This means your hip flexors (or psoas muscles) are tight, which is why I am having you do this in the first place.
5. Branched Chained Amino Acids (BCAA) like Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine can help reduce inflammation and help get amino acids to your muscles. I personally use something called Master Amino Pattern.
6. Think twice about taking Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS). NSAIDS do help with pain. However, the problem is long term use inhibits healing. Not to mention they are hard on the stomach and liver.
7. An alternative to NSAIDS can be Proteolytic Enzymes such as Trypsin, Chymotrypsin, Papain and Bromelain. When taken on an empty stomach, these can help with inflammation.
Some examples Proteolytic Enzyme products would be:
Wobenzymes
Recoverease
Pineapple/Papaya
8. Take some Medical Grade Fish Oil. This may also help with inflammation. Like most things, you get what you pay for so get yourself some high quality fish oil.
9. Follow the Anti-Inflammatory diet. Just "Google" Anti-Inflammatory diet.
All the things I have talked about are things you can do for yourself. What should you try? ALL OF THEM. We are playing a percentage game. If the enzymes help 2%, the self massage helps 2% and some of these other thing help another 10%, well maybe that's enough to reduce your pain and get you back on the golf course or back playing with your grand kids.
I am not done. There are still a bunch of things you can do to help get relief from your back pain. For most of these listed below you will have to see a good sports chiropractor or a sports physical therapist. I just wanted to list them so you can find a doctor or clinic that offers these services.
Again, we are playing a percentage game so ideally you would want to do some form of combination of these services. It would be best to find a find a clinic that offers all of these services, then sit down with your doctor or therapist and develop your personal recovery plan.
Spinal Manipulation (Usually done by a chiropractor)
Extremity Manipulation. An example of this would be mobilization of a foot or ankle.
Custom foot orthotics. If you pronate or the arch of your foot drops, you knee can buckle in and then this can drop your hip, which then can affect your back.
Electric Muscle Stimulation can reduce muscle spasm, pain and inflammation.
Therapeutic Ultrasound.
Cold Laser
Acupuncture
Dry Needling. This involves putting small needles (ever acupuncture needles) into the trigger points in your back and legs.
Trigger Point Injections
Spinal Decompression.
Massage Therapy
Prolotherapy
If you are suffering from back pain, I hope this article gave you a few ideas that you have not tried yet.
