Low Back Pain Exercises - The Best Method Available


Low back pain is very common in adults, and is normally caused by strain or excessive stress. Here is a simple way to combat the pain...

First of all, use the famous inti-inflammatory drug ibuprofen for pain relief and to reduce swelling. Keep active, as much as possible, to keep your muscles from tightening up and making them more sore. And once you are feeling better, it's important to get to the root cause of the low back pain...

Was your low back pain caused by muscle weakness? Was it caused by an injury such as a car accident, or lifting something too heavy or incorrectly? Many doctors prescribe isometric exercises to strengthen the muscles and other tissues of the body, for recovery from an injury.

Isometric exercises require no equipment, can be done anywhere, and take only a few minutes a day. And a growing number of men and women are reporting better general good health because of this exercise method. Not only can isometric exercises make your lower back stronger, it can make your whole body stronger.

So the thing to remember about pain in the lower back is to take it easy, rest if you need to, but keep as active as possible. Then, when you're feeling better, slowly start to stretch and exercise, being sure not to over-do it.

And the most important thing to remember is that a "bad back" doesn't need to be forever. You can ever "ache-proof" your back through isometrics. So you don't have to give up the things you love to do.
