Ouch, I Tweaked My Back
Low back pain is a common issue that affects many people, making it difficult to perform daily tasks and activities. In this article, we will be discussing five effective ways to relieve low back pain quickly and easily, especially after one of those annoying tweaks when bending over. All of the tips mentioned will help with pain relief, but to truly get rid of your back pain for good, I would pay particularly close attention to the last tip in the article.
Relieve Your Low Back Pain in Minutes
Stretching
Stretching is a great way to relieve low back pain. Try stretching your hamstrings by sitting on the floor with your legs straight out in front of you and reach towards your toes. You can also try a standing hamstring stretch by bending down to touch your toes while being in your feet. I am going to link another post below which can give you a few more back stretches to try. This is a great start to gently mobilize your body, but there is more we can do.

Back Pain: Make it Stop! Back pain is something that many of us deal with on a day to day basis. Just because you are dealing with back pain, doesn’t mean that there is nothing for you to do. In fact, by the end of this article, you will know a few simple stretches that…
Heat Pad
Heat therapy can also be helpful in relieving low back pain. Try using a heating pad or hot water bottle on the affected area for 20 minutes at a time, or taking a warm bath or shower. This will help to loosen some of the tight muscles that are constricted from the pain signals being sent to the area. If you want to grab a heat pad for yourself, I am going to link below my favorite one.
Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care can also be beneficial in relieving low back pain. A chiropractor can help to adjust your spine and reduce pressure on the nerves and muscles that can cause pain. I don’t go to a chiropractor all of the time, but when my back is just not cooperating it’s a great place to turn to, in addition to doing this next thing.
Massage
Now, massage can be a great way to relieve low back pain. A massage therapist can help to loosen tight muscles, increase blood flow, and promote relaxation. In addition to this, you can also use a massage gun on yourself to save you money in the long run. This will help to target the muscles that are specifically tight in your back. If you want to check out the massage gun I like to use, I am going to link it below.
Exercise
By far one of the most important ways to relieve back pain is with exercise. Try doing some light cardio, such as walking or swimming, or even some low-impact exercises like yoga or Pilates. These exercises can help to strengthen the muscles in your back, which can help to support your spine and reduce pain. If you neglect to move your back, the muscles will stay tight, weak, and painful. Easing your way back into exercise, and getting stronger at picking up things when bending over, is the only way to get lasting relief.
