3 Tips to Ease Back Pain

3 Tips to ease back pain

Back pain is the number one reason for doctor visits. Here are 3 tips that will help ease your back pain:

1. Bridge exercise:
-this exercise strengthens the gluteus maximus and pelvis stabilizers while stretching the hip flexors. Perform 30 leg extensions per day while in the bridge position.

2. Go for a walk:
-walking for at least 20 minutes will not only release endorphins which will ease your pain but also will stimulate your core muscles and bring nourishing blood to tight low back muscles.

3. Traction:
-gravity along with tight muscles will compress sensitive joints in the spine so decompress by hanging from a pull-up bar, reclining on an inversion table, or use a decline bench at the gym.

Of course there are many causes of low back pain so it is best to see one of us to evaluate the cause and recommend the best course of treatment.
