Heavy Lifting Causes Severe Back Pain - Try Back Braces
First you probably need to understand more of the problem. Upper back pain is the pain that is felt between the bottom of the how to cure low back pain neck and top of the lumbar spine. This pain in the upper back can cause a lot of frustration and stress as the pain can be quite uncomfortable and overbearing. Patients who are suffering from upper back pain usually experience some form of muscle tension and irritation at the back. This aching feeling may last from a few hours to a few days.

Consult your chiropractor on the sleeping position that is right for you. He would know the best position so as not to aggravate the low back pain. You may also use therapeutic pillows or orthopedic pillows that will help align the normal curvature of your neck and low back. These pillows are designed to reduce the pain during the night and help you to tolerate pain levels on the next day.

A very usual cause is a wrong sitting posture. Queer but true, sitting for too long will cause you a certain degree of back pain, especially if your posture is awkward. This is because pressure is applied directly to your back when you are sitting. Hence, the longer you spend sitting during working, the more pressure it piles up for you in total. This is also exactly why most truck drivers, or anyone who spends more than 6 hours per day sitting while working, often complain of this problem.

Acquiring the correct posture in the sleeping position will be most difficult, but it is not impossible. With a little bit of effort, it can be done. The right way to sleep is on the side with knees bent. It is ideal if you can place a pillow under your head to give support to the neck and also a pillow between your knees. For back sleepers, the best solution is to place a pillow under the knees and another pillow, a small one, one beneath the lower back. For people who sleep on their stomach, try to keep a pillow under your hips for back pain cure help.

Bridge - This technique helps in stabilizing the lower back including the spine. Lie on your back with your arms on the side. The knees are bent and each foot flat on the floor. Gently raise your hips including your buttocks and hamstrings. Hold for about 5 seconds and repeat 10 times.

The first of these is what I call the gluteal pinch. Stand erect, hands at your sides. Now tightly pinch your buttocks muscles together. No, this is not being a**l-retentive! It is actually a good exercise for the gluteus maximus, an often overlooked muscle group.

There are a number of drugs that can help you deal with the pain, such as Advil, Tylenol or Ibuprofen. Their best effect is if you begin to take them from the moment the pain appears, in the beginning. You shouldn't wait until you can't stand the pain anymore.
