normal back pain is caused by strain on the back muscles. if you strengthen your core muscles and your abdominals it will share the work load with your back.

if you have a pain that lasts more than a couple of days, go see a doctor, because it could be more dangerous than you think. but if you are able to move around and it just hurts when you sit in a certain position or sit for to long, try a back patch. they work pretty well. also try the cold/hot. try a cold patch then a hot patch and continue to alter it. also try taking hot showers and letting the water roll down your back. you are also try sleeping on your side instead on your back, and then again you can try sleeping on the floor for a few nights. if you don't like sleeping on the floor, get a piece of wood (old door) and place between your mattress and spring, to give you extra support. try to take it easy for a while. it better to take care of it now than later.

Courtney, you should try chiropractic care.  It is a safe and gentle way to help with chronic back pain, even from scoliosis.  I work for a chiropractor in South Carolina and she uses a new technology of chiropractic treatment that doesn't have any twisting, poping or cracking when the adjustment is delivered.  It is called the Pro-Adjuster and many chiropactors all over the world are beginning to use this technology.  We had a 27 year old male with chronic back pain from his scoliosis and he received dramatic relief in just a few treatments.  Make sure to do your research on doctors in your area, so you can find a chiropractor who fits into your specific needs.  If you want more information on the Pro-Adjuster and to find doctors in your area using it, go to www.pro-adjuster.com.

I'm going to guess the major pain is coming from your back. First, check with your doctor, what exactly is wrong with your back? Hard to tell you what to do but, sitting is one of the worst things for back pain. you need to start doing some very light exercise and then increase you activity level as the pain subsides. Now you can be active and have pain, so you have to get into proper stretching and strength exercises. Like I said it's tough from here. \nI had back surgery for a ruptured disk, it messed up the nerve big time. Tylenol sort of works to keep the pain managable, exercise is the key. You just have to be careful 'cause it's easy to pull things when you start out.

Sure yoga helps to cure the back pain. But you should approach a trained yoga instructor. Not the institute mushrooming everywhere.\n\nThe yoga u can see in the TV and all are the physical work outs, which are called hatha yoga. If you want to reap the full benefit out of yoga you should masterise bandhas and Mudras. For that you require strict supervison.\n\nIf you want to know further anything on this kindly write me.\n\nGood luck.

There could be many reasons and cures for this-see your GP-if no luck, see  a  chiropractor-though FAR infrared sauna cured my back pain after  a couple of sessions.My back pain was linked to an infection-lyme disease which doctors dont understand-apart from specialist doctors,or alternative doctors.

Stretching, exercising, sleeping in the right positions, seeing a physiotherapist to give you a personalized routine and apply heat/cold correctly to your body.\n\nEasy way to get the pain to subside considerably: stretch everyday.  Good stretch for your back:  hold onto something that will hold your body weight (like a door handle) that is waist high and lean your whole body out with your feet under where your hands are holding, this will stretch out your back.  Other than this, just do 15-20 min of various stretches, holding each stretch for 1 minute.  \n\nGet an exercies routine.  If you don't want a gym membership, then make a point of walking for 20 minutes everyday.  At least it is something. \n\nHow old are you?  Sounds like you are in your twenties.\n\nWhen we leave our teens our body starts to solidify.  This is my terminology for the fact it's not growing anymore and it becomes more and more solid.  It's not naturally changing all the time, so we need to keep it moving, keep it flexible, and keep it working.  \n\nI cracked my neck a couple times in  high school, and had been able to slack off on the exercise for several years, but it caught up with me in the form of constant pain, knots continually under my shoulder blades, and greatly decreased upper body strength.  I started stretching everyday, even just for 5 minutes if I'm busy, and exercising at the gym a minimum twice a week, and now I have NO pain.  NONE.  It's been 6 months.  I don't do much, but the little bit has changed my entire body.  \n\nOk, so enough home remedies, you're having pain with no immediate results on the attempts you've tried.  Have you seen a physiotherapist?  Get a doctor's referral and go - it's totally worth the $35 fee or whatever they charge where you are.  They will apply heat to your back and teach you all the exercises you  need for that part of your back, exercises, stretches etc.  And they'll teach you how to sleep and sit and everything that will improve your back.  \n\nI saw my physiotherapist before beginning my exercise and stretch routine, and it was the best investment I've made for my body.  \n\nGood luck.

Well here is something that you can do right at home or when visiting someone:\n\nDo not sit in couches, always sit in firm chairs supporting the lumbar area with a pillow. This will help you keep your waist and lower back in the proper position.\n\n\nI'm not sure about the best medication or about the vinegar.

My boyfriend has an inversion table and it does help both of our back pain.  Try physical therapy, acupuncture, water exercise, heat and cold therapy....

I do one of two things when my lower back starts to hurt that may help you.  Flip your mattress if you haven't in awhile.  You can also lay on your back on the floor and try to flatten out your back by pressing the small of your back into the floor.  You could also try getting a massage or visiting the chiropractor.  Hope you feel better!

I have constant back pain after standing long periods of time or any kind of lifting. I use Icy Hot and that helps. Take a hot shower and then put some of that on that area that hurts. Take Advil good for inflammed muscles or a small dosage of a muscle relaxer. They have that new thing they show on tv that is like a wrap around band for your back that holds the disk that has the medicine in it. If it continues you may need to go to the doctor or a chiropractor. I went to a chiroprator one time and my back felt really good afterwards but you have to keep going back every so many weeks.

I have the same in the lower back following a car accident last year. Found great relief with my Physical Therapist at northstarpilates.com. Maybe there is a similar option near you? I highly recommend it. The exercises are easy and research backs it up, it works! Only a few short months ago, I thought I would be crippled for life. Now, I can hike, garden, most everything as before with minimal pain.\n\nI did find that yoga aggravated the problem.\n\nGood luck-

(Congrats by the way)\n1. wear "sensible shoes"(don't you hate that word sensible? - LOL)\n2.roll a towel or place a pillow behind the small of your back when sitting. Sit on firm furniture.\n3.Put your feet up.\n4.Place a heating pad on low or medium behind your back for a while.\n5.Soak in the tub ro relax those muscles.\n6.Watch your posture. Try to stand up straight. Your ears should be level with your shoulders.\n7. Have your hubby gentely massage your back while you are lying on your side.\n8. Tell your OBGYN about your pain on your next visit.\n9. Remember, this too, shall pass!!!! Be good to yourself and your little wee one!

It depends on whether it's muscular or disc related.\n\nFor muscular: sleep flat on your back on a firm surface with your legs bent. Do excercises to strengthen your abdominals. Weak abs are a primary culprit in back strain. Use proper body mechanics. Not too much lifting, and when you do, bend your knees and keep the load close to you. Remember, prevention is easier than cure.\n\nDisc: See a chiropractor, they'll feel it out. Then, see an orthopedic surgeon. Get their advice before doing careful stretching, inversion therapy, and yoga, if you can handle it. Here again, prevention is easier than cure. Try yoga, and eat lots of fiber.

I've had back problems before. You've probably been told to change your mattress, or buy a firm pillow. I did all of those the thing that worked for me was working out my lower back and also stretching my lower  back out. This helped me. \n\nTo stretch you lower back, sit on the floor. Bring your feet inwards like you're trying to touch your stomach with your feet. (your leg is still on the ground) The soles of your feet must be touching. Know lean forward as far as you can go. It helps if someones pushes you from the back and keep you in that position for thirty second. \n\nIf that doesn't help, change your lifesyle, sit up straiht and buy insoles.\n\nWhen all else fails, see a doctor. They are the true specialist. Hope that your back gets better.
