Back pain is a common concern, according to research, it affects up to 60% of Nigerians, especially among the older generation.

There are so many things that could cause back problems. But, the good news is that there are some easy solutions, and you can access back pain treatment, from the comfort of your home.

1. Heat and ice therapy

In the short-term phases of back pain, ice packs may alleviate discomfort and aid in the reduction of inflammation. Please keep in mind that you should not apply ice straight to your skin. To protect your skin, wrap it in a light cloth or gauze.

Warm compresses may also help reduce discomfort once the inflammation has subsided. Consider alternating between hot and cold temperatures during back pain treatment.

2. Exercise

Exercise to enhance posture and strengthen the back and abdominal muscles, often known as the core muscles, are a therapeutic option worth considering.

Here are some stretching exercises that would help:

Cobra Pose: Lying on your stomach, with your hands face down beside the shoulders, gently lift your chest so that the top of your head points toward the ceiling.

Cat-Cow Pose: Beginning on your hands and knees, slowly alternate between arching your back toward the ceiling and dipping it toward the floor.

Child’s Pose: Sitting on the heels with your knees hip-width apart, lean forward to place your head on the floor, stretching your arms out in front of your head.

3. Try mindful meditation

This may sound bizarre in giving yourself a back pain treatment but research has shown that meditation is a great way to improve concentration, release feel-good hormones (endorphins), and decrease anxiety and stress. Through mindful meditation, you can control the way your body perceives pain. It is a great remedy for back pain.
