Back Pain Relief in Houston Area
As one of the most common reasons cited for missing work, it’s not surprising that statistics show that 85% of Americans will experience back pain at some point in their lives. Back pain can range from sharp spasms in a targeted area to dull, aching pain over a whole section of the back. Back pain can be the result of injury (even a minor injury like standing up too quickly to get out of bed in the morning or bending to tie your shoes), infection or degenerative conditions like arthritis, osteoporosis, or spinal stenosis.
When left untreated or treated improperly, back pain can become chronic and extremely debilitating. For that reason, it is important to see your doctor at the first signs of back pain, especially if it radically interferes with your daily routine. You can also pay a visit your local Relax The Back store in the Houston area for recommendations on lumbar and back support products to help you better manage your back pain.
Back pain relief is possible with the right lumbar support product and exercise regimen. Back supports, back cushions and supportive beds and mattresses are all important supportive aids that can help reduce the pain you’re in. Exercises and stretches, specifically those recommended by the McKenzie Method, can also make your back pain more manageable and help strengthen your back so that it is less prone to injury in the future.
The McKenzie Method is the treatment of cervical and lumbar pain through extension and decompression of the spine. The goal of the McKenzie Method is to enable patients to treat themselves and to prevent reoccurrence. Our specially trained back comfort product consultants can teach you more about the McKenzie Method and how best to employ stretches and exercises to help you strengthen your back. Come into any Relax The Back in the Houston area for a consultation today.
One of the most important and effective remedies for chronic back pain relief is ensuring that you maintain a neutral posture for as much as possible, both while asleep and during the day. Neutral posture is the ideal alignment of vertebral bodies as it alleviates disk pressure, ligament strain and muscle pain. Neutral posture also improves recovery, blood flow, and spinal nourishment, reduces fatigue, and promotes oxygenation in the blood. It is estimated that in an average day, Americans spend 8 hours sleeping, 8 hours working and 2 hours commuting, leaving 6 hours for personal time and relaxing. If you are able to ensure a neutral spine while you’re working, sleeping and commuting, you will ensure an average of 18 hours of natural spine and will find significant back pain relief. There are a number of highly effective products like back supports, seat cushions, ergonomic chairs and supportive mattresses available from your local Relax The Back store in the Houston area to help you more easily achieve that ideal natural posture.
