Back Pain Remedies
posted: Jul. 22, 2022.
Roughly 8 out of 10 Americans experience back pain at least once in their lifetime. This pain could result from a back sprain while working, a sports injury, or chronic conditions like ankylosing spondylitis and arthritis. At La Ruffa Chiropractic & Sports Rehab in Jupiter, we recommend seeking treatment as soon as you start experiencing back pain. The longer you wait before seeking back pain treatment, the worse your condition will likely get. In addition to chiropractic adjustments, Dr. La Ruffa will likely recommend a combination of the following treatments and remedies for your back pain.
1. Sleep Better
If you have back pain, you might have difficulties sleeping. Failure to get quality sleep will likely worsen your back pain. You should also maintain a good sleeping posture to help remedy your back pain. We can provide guidance as needed to help you get the quality sleep you need.
2. Good Posture
Maintaining a bad sitting posture is bad for your back; this is why your grandma kept telling you not to slouch. Poor posture can worsen your back pain. Our chiropractor is likely to recommend sitting upright with a pillow between your lower back and the chair to reduce the pain.
3. Physical Therapy
A physical therapist will coach you on how to sit, stand, and walk in a manner that promotes the proper alignment of your spine and eliminates strain on your back. You will learn specialized exercises that strengthen the core muscles supporting your back. Strengthening your core muscles with physical therapy is an excellent way to prevent future back pain.
