Lower back pain is a common issue that affects millions of people worldwide. It has various causes, including muscle strains, poor posture, stress, and underlying medical conditions. At Newton Center Chiropractic in Newton, MA, we provide non-invasive treatments to reduce your symptoms and help you feel your best. Before you visit us, take a look at some remedies for lower back pain below:

Chiropractic Care 

Chiropractic care is a widely recognized and effective treatment for lower back pain. Our chiropractors use spinal adjustments to correct misalignments, improve spinal function, and reduce pain. These adjustments help restore proper motion to the spine, which can alleviate pressure on joints and nerves as well as enhance overall mobility.

Exercise and Stretching

Incorporating regular exercise and stretching into your routine can significantly relieve your discomfort. Strengthening the muscles that support the spine, such as the core muscles, provides better support and decreases strain. Stretching exercises improve flexibility, ease muscle tension, and alleviate symptoms.

Heat and Cold Therapy

Applying heat or cold therapy to the affected area can provide immediate pain relief. Heat therapy, such as using a heating pad or warm bath, relaxes muscles and increases blood flow. Cold therapy like ice packs can reduce inflammation and numb the pain. Alternating between heat and cold therapy can also be beneficial.

Maintaining Proper Posture

Proper posture is crucial in preventing lower back pain. Make sure that your sitting and standing posture minimizes stress to your spine. Using ergonomic furniture and adjusting your workspace can help you maintain good posture and eliminate strain on your back.

Soft Tissue Manipulation

Soft tissue manipulation to muscles, tendon, or ligaments can be an effective remedy for lower back pain, whether Active Release Technique (ART), trigger point massage, or any other muscle treatment technique. It helps to relax tight muscles, improve blood circulation, and decrease pain. Combining muscle work with chiropractic care can speed up the healing process as well.
