Your Pain History Back Pain

once I had back pain from sitting behind a computer screen for too many hours with bad posture At first just sore, then days later it would spread to the neck and shoulders. It tends to get worse when I dont stretch or take meds. In order to fix the latter, I began incorporating more healthy sitting practices and taking walking/pool time and doing yoga/dynamic stretches.

Stress, emotional tension that leads to muscle tension.

Back pain symptoms may manifest as throbbing, stabbing or just dull intermittent aching depending on the underlying cause.

Prevention and Treatment of Back Pain

Certain way of posture unsafely may lead to back-pain so it is important to take care and exercise regularly as well avoid lifting weights without correct technique. Stretching and strengthening can help keep your back muscles healthy too.

Aim to prevent back pain with appropriate rest, use of heat or cold packs and over-the-counter pain relievers (i.e ibuprofen).

Physical therapy, massage and some yoga can help as well. However, if the pain is long-lasting or increases you should have this checked further by a doctor.
