Exercise against back pain

by Jadranka Srpak | Mar 10, 2023 | Back pain

First aid exercise against lower back pain

Exercise against back pain when the pain is acute. If you are reading this, you have probably experienced acute or chronic back pain in your lifetime. This article aims to give you information about what type of back pain exercises are good when you have severe, acute pain. If you’ve had back pain, you probably already know that there are things you should and shouldn’t do when you have severe back pain. Of course, a doctor should approve each exercise.

Ask the doctor

When you feel severe pain, ask your doctor if you need to stay in bed for more than two days. Many times resting for more than two days, by which I mean complete bed rest, is not really good. And it doesn’t help you recover faster, in fact it can hinder your recovery. I’m not trying to get you to overexert yourself because the truth is that your body needs to heal. But I also don’t want you to get into a situation where you’re not moving and that’s prolonging your recovery time.

Try to practice

If you can’t do anything else, try to get up at least once a day. Here is a good exercise you can do when you are resting. Lie on your stomach and support yourself with your elbows. Slowly and gently push yourself up so that your hips stay on the floor and your stomach and chest are lifted up. Do this as much as you can without straining too much. After that, turn on your back and place a rolled towel under your lower back.

If you do this exercise for three or four days and do not feel relief, it may be because the pain is not directed to the lower back. If you feel pain more on one side than the other, you can change this exercise. The way you do it is to lie down. Then move your hips to the side away from the pain. Then continue the exercise as described above.

Other

Other things you can do to get back up and running quickly are: don’t hunch over, don’t lift anything, try not to drive and above all keep moving as much as your body allows.

Neck and back pain

What to do with neck and back pain?

Neck and Back Pain – Many people don’t realize that if they have neck pain, they are likely to develop back pain. This is because the two are usually related. I remember a time when I had migraine headaches that my doctor considered. This went on for years until a friend told me it didn’t sound like a migraine, it sounded like I had a neck problem. Of course, when I started going to physical therapy and treating my neck, the headaches disappeared.

The reason many people with neck pain have back pain is because the neck muscles are so stressed that it is bound to affect the back. It is also true that back pain can be the cause of neck pain. So it works both ways.

If you have severe neck or back pain, you must see a doctor. Often, severe pain is the result of a problem that has been building up for some time. Many doctors recommend physical therapy for neck and back pain or chiropractic care.

What can you do?

Sometimes pain cannot be avoided due to an accident or some kind of injury. However, if you have not been injured, there are many things you can do to prevent neck and back pain. The least important of which is maintaining good posture. This means you don’t have to sit slouched in a chair while reading this article. One of the best things you can do for yourself is to sleep on a quality mattress. When I changed the mattress, there was an incredible difference in my pain level. In fact, my pain is pretty much gone with a good mattress.

What can women do?

There are two practical things women can do to prevent neck and back pain. This is to carry a baby bag instead of a purse and to carry your baby or child as close to the middle as possible. What I mean by this is don’t put your baby on one side all the time, try to switch hips or carry him on his stomach so he’s not on one side.

Advice for men

Men can try to lift things properly. Do not bend down and lift with your back, but squat and lift with your legs.

Weight and back pain

by Jadranka Srpak | Mar 6, 2023 | Back pain

Weight loss and back pain are related

Weight and back pain have a great impact on our health. In society, we are surrounded by small, medium and large bone structures. Muscle and bone structure play a role in the structure of the body as it matures. Weight factors are also considered according to bone structure. For example, a woman of medium bone height can weigh up to 65 kg without being overweight. A woman with a larger bone structure can weigh several kilograms more without tipping the scales.

Obesity

However, obesity has taken over our country due to changes in feasting patterns and the meals we eat. Crucial changes include the FDA, which allows harmful food products with supplements, with additives that support cravings. We see obesity in our future at higher levels than at any time in our history. Why do you think 12 and 14 year olds are running around with big bums and breasts? Ask the FDA about additives. The problem is that these kids take the advantages for granted, since later those bums and chests will be in balance with the hips, thighs, and so on.

Now you can sit back and do nothing about your weight. But if you don’t lose weight, it can lead to serious back pain. Back pain is the WORST condition of all the pains we can experience, but the condition spreads from a wide range of causes.

Chain reactions

Back pain results from a chain of reactions, starting from the bones of the skeleton and ending with the skeletal muscles. Once the bones and muscles are targeted, the reactions continue. The reaction goes on to collagen, calcium, phosphates, magnesium, joints, ligaments, tendons, cartilage, synovium, fibers, connective tissues, nerve roots, nerve endings. And gradually they move to the largest component within the structures of our body, known as the central nervous system. Now we have serious complications in the making.

Chain reactions affect our hormones, metabolism, weight-bearing muscles and joints, and deterioration occurs. Now, the chain reaction may not happen in the same order. But in one way or another every component of the body is affected over time.

Obesity increases the chain reaction. Back injuries alone can lead to obesity. For example, if at one point you lift or catch a heavy object, person, etc., later your back can fail, causing tremendous pain. Pain slows down your actions, as well as causes emotional reactions that produce symbolic messages, which can dramatically change your life. You can feel helpless and go on with your life lying on your back, feeling sorry for your condition and not seeing how you can ease the pain. Inactive muscles lead to obesity.

Muscles

We see that the muscles have to move properly every day to avoid such problems. Exercise is the key that opens the door to a healthy spine and closes the door to obesity. Stop fat tissue by working those muscles.

Take action now

Emotions are powerful and tricky. You can stop emotions from playing with your mind by taking action now. Set a plan and try to lose some weight in the planned interval. For example, set your mind to lose 2 kg by the end of the month. After losing weight, you will notice a change in your spine, which includes a reduction in back pain. Determine an exercise regimen that works for you to achieve your goal.

Tip: Dance aerobics helps you burn fat quickly.

When you lose weight, the muscles on your stomach and spine get stronger. The health benefit increases the natural course of chain reactions. A natural flow is achieved as you reduce the amount of stress added to the joints and muscles. With this in mind, you should choose stretching exercises and training that do not put too much stress on the joints or muscles.

Shoes and back pain

by Jadranka Srpak | Mar 3, 2023 | Back pain

Did you know that wearing ill-fitting shoes can cause back pain?

Shoes are the cushions, foundations and levers we use for walking, standing, running, working and so on. Wearing proper, well-fitting shoes will promote healthy posture. On the other hand, if someone is wearing inappropriate shoes, watch your feet and back.

Feet – Shoes and back pain

The feet are the number one target where normal back pain starts. In short, the first thing that hits the ground when you start standing or walking is the ball of your foot, or heel. After the heel hits the surface, the rest of the foot starts to follow, which promotes weight and stress in all parts of the body. Foot problems alone can lead to back pain. Bad posture causes back pain, but this condition is often characterized by inappropriate actions we take.

Fact: Wearing high heels will slowly pull your entire body weight forward, ruining your posture and arching your back. Put your weapons down women, because in time you will feel the pain. High heels are the leading cause of spondylolisthesis. In short, spondylolisthesis is a condition that is caused by a forward slippage of the lower back (lumbar).

The toes are designed to give us support, but when a person wears high heels, the toes affect the joints, as the toes will narrow, causing weight or pressure on the spine. High heels are sexy for both men and women, but these heels will cost you a fortune in the future. You can look good in supportive shoes that fit comfortably without damaging your ligaments, tendons, nerves, muscles, and so on.

Shoes that support our spine can reduce the chances of back pain.

How to choose shoes?

Orthopedic shoes are recommended. Orthotic shoes will support the feet and weight-bearing joints and muscles. Orthotic shoes have been proven to reduce dysfunctions arising from the neurological system. In addition, supportive shoes have been proven to reduce injuries and pain resulting from abnormal conditions.

If you have been diagnosed with a posture condition, such as osteoporosis, or gait, you may benefit from orthopedic shoes.

Fact: Did you know that you can wear two or more Dr. Scholl? Insert the insoles into your shoes before turning them over and achieve a balance that promotes a healthy spine?

Shoes make a difference to our spine, because the feet themselves when abnormal can lead to back pain. If you don’t wear supportive shoes that allow you to walk comfortably, you may want to invest in orthopedic shoes to relieve back pain.

In addition to shoes, you can perform stretching exercises and practice bending, sitting, and lifting strategies to correct your actions and reduce back pain.

Fact: If the spine is misaligned, it can lead to back pain.

You knew that. In any case, we raise our spine incorrectly, wear inappropriate shoes and lean incorrectly or sit in the wrong position. You can correct the problems by becoming familiar with your condition, after which you will take measures to relieve the pain.

Fact: A proper lift starts from the thighs and buttocks. Millions of people lift by leaning on their backs to support the weight. Back pain occurs.

When lifting heavy objects, avoid long distances. Ideally, you want to avoid bending your knees and extending your torso vertically.

Back pain indicators

Back pain indicators that should not be ignored

Back pain usually starts with signals or indicators. For example, if you once had a backache that stopped and later started again, you got your indicator at the beginning. In short, the first time your back started to hurt is a sign. You want to pinpoint when the first pain started. Once you’ve pinpointed the onset date, you’ll need to consider what inspired your back pain. For example, have you fallen? Have you been in a car accident?

Symptoms of back pain

Once you find the trigger for your back pain, think about the symptoms. Did you feel pain? Did you feel weak? Has your back been stiff or numb?

Using the back pain indicator

Now you can use the indicators to find out where the pain started. Did the pain start in the lower back? Was the pain at the top? Did the pain cause additional pain, for example around the neck? Was the pain intermittent? Was the pain constantly causing stress? Has the pain moved to other parts of the body?

Did the pain get worse when you walked, stood, sat, or lay down? Has the pain decreased or increased?

When you first injured your back, did the pain stop or did it hurt often? Has the pain caused long-term problems? Did the pain go away immediately?

When you first injured your back, did your symptoms gradually change? Have your symptoms interfered with your daily activities? How have the symptoms changed? How did the symptoms interfere with your daily activities?

Answering the questions can help you inform your doctor as well as help you understand the cause of your condition. If you were in an accident and sought medical attention when you first injured your spine, consider what tests were used to diagnose your condition. What did the doctor find?

If you sought medical help and your doctor recommended treatment, what was that treatment? How did the treatment help your back condition? If treatment has helped your condition, can you try medication now?

Is your back pain caused by surgery, joint disease, musculoskeletal disorders or disease?

Does your job require heavy lifting? Is your job emotionally stressful? Do you stand for a long time? Do you sit for a long time?

What are your exercise habits? Do you exercise often? Do you do stretching exercises? What is your stress level? Do you do something active to relieve stress?

Is there a hereditary back problem in your history?

After asking questions about your back condition, you may want to mark points that you can mention to your doctor later. Noticing the problem can help you and your doctor find the cause. Often patients miss this, which is why many back pain problems go unnoticed.

Treatments for pain relief

If your back pain has recently returned after the initial indication, you can use home treatments to relieve the pain, unless it is demanding. Rest is a common doctor-prescribed treatment to reduce back pain. I’m a fan of chiropractor support, but some people have trouble with the term, so if you feel you could benefit from a chiropractor, please seek support. Massage and physical therapy are also recommended to reduce back pain. Massage therapists are available in many areas and charge reasonable fees. Check your areas to learn more about massage therapy. Regular stretching exercises can reduce back pain caused by tension. If you’ve overworked your muscles, you may want to rest and do a few exercises later.

Whatever you do, avoid ignoring the indicators. Once back pain starts, note the area and discuss the problem with your doctor.
