Back Pain
Back Pain is a common ailment. Your lower back provides maximum support to your skeletal framework through various bones, muscles, and ligaments of the vertebral column. Additionally, nerves and joints at strategic points help in smooth movement of the spine.
Causes of Back Pain
There are many reasons for the occurrence of back pain. The most common among them is wrong posture.
You slump in awkward positions and bend your body in all directions.
Lifting weights without bending your knees can cause sprains, torn ligaments and strains muscles.
Back pain can also be due to injuries to bones and ligaments in sports and other physical activities.
Other causes include congenital disorders, arthritis, psychological problems, and obesity. Sometimes back pain is due to internal disorders like kidney infections, kidney stones, bone loss, blood clots, and even gas.
Diagnosis of Back Pain
X-ray examinations can explain the cause of back pain to a certain extent and sometimes you need a complete MRI, where they put you in a tunnel and can get a better view of what is causing the pain.
Treatment for Back Pain
Normally bed rest provides good relief for back pain. However, physical therapy and exercise could improve your back pain better than resting. Doctors advise starting exercise immediately when you feel acute back pain. A single day’s bed rest is sufficient and you can cure your back pain with further exercise. Doctors stress specific back exercises for your abdominal and back muscles to strengthen them and increase their flexibility. Back pain is due to drying up of disks of your vertebral column. Therefore, exercise keep disks hydrated. You also need to have sufficient intake of water and other fluids.
Hot water packs in winter and ice packs in summer bring immense relief of back pain. You need to understand what induces your back pain like bending forward, lifting, or carrying weight, lowering your neck, etc. Accordingly, you can exercise and work on improving your posture to gain relief from back pain.
Non-prescription pills can cure simple cases of back pain. Surgery for curing back pain is only appropriate when it affects you seriously.
Exercises to Relieve Back Pain
Back pain is very common. You are not alone! It mainly occurs if you push, bend, pull, lift, twist, or strain wrongly. A sudden awkward turn can also cause back pain. Although it is a piercing pain at first, later it settles as a chronic pain. Sedentary lifestyle is a major cause for back pain.
Start with easy warming & stretching exercises before the back pain exercises.
Simple exercises which you can do daily to help relieve your back pain are:
- Lie on your hands and knees. Raise right arm and left leg simultaneously, parallel to ground.
Stay for two seconds and repeat with left arm and right leg about ten times.
- Lie facedown and extend your arms with outstretched palms on the floor. Raise right arm and
left leg simultaneously as high as possible. Hold for ten seconds and repeat the other side. Alternate ten times initially and then increase to twenty times.
- Lie flat on your back, bring knees, and chin to your chest simultaneously. Hold for fifteen
seconds and repeat twice.
- Place your feet tightly under your couch, lying facedown with arms at sides. Raise chest as
high as possible and hold for two seconds. Repeat.
- Stand with feet a little bit apart, knees bent slightly. Place palms of hands at lower back near
your waist. Lean back as much as possible and hold for ten seconds. Repeat.
Chronic Headache
Although a headache is a common ailment, headaches can be chronic, migraine, or tension headaches. Causes of migraine headaches differ greatly and therefore remedies are subjective and there is no single and same remedy for all migraine sufferers.
Causes and Remedies for Chronic Headache
Although caffeine provides effective relief from headaches, excess caffeine causes headaches. If you suffer from regular headaches, you need to avoid coffee and certain sodas. It helps many people to have a cup of coffee with their aspirin for faster relief.
Unfortunately, caffeine is addictive.
Once you are used to drinking coffee everyday, if you do not have it, you'll get a headache. Some people are sensitive to certain foods or drinks. Hence, eating or drinking such items could trigger a headache. Chemicals present in those foods cause blood vessels in the brain to expand.
One huge cause of migraine that you do not hear much about is diet soda when they use aspartame as a sweetener. Aspartame has many effects that you may not know that you are getting from the use of too much of it, or just a little for some people. Soda can cause kidney stones, which can give you tremendous lower back pain, too.
Tobacco causes headaches and the best remedy for headaches is to avoid tobacco.
Erratic mealtimes and skipping of meals could cause headaches. Hence, stick to a regular schedule of food intake to avoid headaches.
A good night’s sleep is the best solution for your headache. Staying up late or reducing your total sleep time disrupts your body mechanism. This causes a headache. Hence, sleep for a minimum of eight hours at a regular time to avoid headaches. Sometimes oversleeping also causes headaches.
Staying outdoors in the sun could trigger a headache. Exercising in the sun leads to headaches. You lose immense amounts of fluids through perspiration.
Hence, you need to drink plenty of water and fluids to keep your body hydrated. Additionally keep eyes shaded. You lose electrolytes, such as salt and potassium when you perspire.
If you tie your hair tightly at the back, it causes headaches. Hence, keep your hair loose and massage inner blood vessels in circular movements to gain relief from headaches. Many women with thick heavy hair can actually have the weight of their hair causing their headaches.
Stress is another important cause leading to chronic headaches. Avoid physical and mental stress to be free of headaches.
Maintain a healthy lifestyle with regular eating, exercising, and other habits to avoid headaches. Despite all medications, if your headache persists, it is best to seek medical diagnosis and treatment from a qualified medical professional.
Nutritional supplements with a combination of magnesium, riboflavin and a few other supplements can be an effective remedy.
