Dr. Granny shares five great techniques for relieving back pain that you can do at home.
Massage therapy is considered to be very helpful in reducing back pain. It is also a common alternative remedy popular among millions of people for back pain and other diseases related to the spine. Massage relaxes your mind, improves blood circulation, increases the supply of oxygen and removes waste products. It relieves muscle tension, inflammation, aches, stiffness and pain.
- There are several hand held massagers which can be used easily by you on the affected muscles to get relief from pain.
- Therapy cane (made of metal rod with wooden balls), available at medical supply stores is an excellent self-massage tool.
- Tennis balls in an old sock, is another popular do-it-yourself back pain massage technique. Place two tennis balls inside a sock and knot the open end. Lie on your back and roll the ball. The socks should be placed such that the balls are on either sides of the spine. Keep the balls rolling up and down your back. Increase the pressure gradually.
- Hot bath shower is also very helpful.
