On today’s blog post, I will provide some tips to help you treat your aching back without having to spend a ton of money, or taking prescription medications or OTC pain relievers that may have adverse side effects.
Back Pain Relief Tip #1
Try not to slouch while performing any activity, including household chores like vacuuming. Leaning over a vacuum cleaner, or hunching over a sink full of dishes, can further aggravate your back pain. When you are standing, focus on good posture and try to stand up straight. When it’s that time of the week to vacuum your home, try to focus on pushing the vacuum with your legs rather than with your arms … that little adjustment will help your back from further injury.
Back Pain Relief Tip #2
Seek out your local natural food store for back pain treatments and remedies. You should find various remedies that provide natural pain relief. Best bet is to ask one of the store employees regarding an effective natural remedy for your back pain.
Back Pain Relief Tip #3
