Home Treatment for Back Pain

For many people, tight hip flexors and hamstrings are the root cause of back pain. When these muscles aren't worked out sufficiently and are not properly stretched, they pull down on your abdominal and lower back muscles, pulling the body out of alignment. Fortunately, there are some things you can do at home or at work to help improve this situation.

• Regular exercise: Walking helps loosen the muscles in your legs and lower back, leading to less back pain overall. Walking helps you stay fit, and strengthen core muscles. Walking can assist with weight loss and has been proven to help alleviate lower back pain.
• Swimming and hydrotherapy: These are great options for relaxing muscles and reducing inflammation that could lead to back pain. As with other forms of exercise, swimming also helps with weight loss.
• Hot packs and cold compress: These can help to relax your back muscles and relieve pain, especially when you alternate the two.
