Back pain blues?

Here are some tips to counter your back pain. Accompanied with some reasons you might be suffering from this common 'pain'.


Rest on a firm surface for several hours to treat and alleviate symptoms of a strained back. Anti-inflammatory medications (such as ibuprofen) can help, and stretching and strengthening of the back muscles is important to avoid another back injury.

Sleep and heal method.

Sleep in a curled-up, fetal position with a pillow between your legs. If you usually sleep on your back, place a pillow or rolled towel under your knees to relieve pressure.

Monkey Bar method
Hang yourself on the chin up bar like you are going to chin up but instead hang loosely, allowing your body to be pulled down by the gravitational force while maintaining your grip. So as you hang loose, propel your legs in clockwise and anti clockwise motion like a helicopter. upon doing it correctly you will feel the lengthening effect on your spine, which are sounds of your spine 'cracking' and then you'll go aHHH~ shiok... type of feeling. Please note that when your hands are in pain while hanging on the bar, please, please, let go. What's the point of curing the back pain in exchange for wrist or hand pain?! =D

This exercise actually puts the probably out of place joints in your spine back into it's original position and also help release trapped energy in that region. In fact quite alot of hip twisting activities as such helps to release trapped energy. Nevertheless there is one more exercise which i would like to recommend that I learnt from a yoga book that 'talked' abt solving back pain problem.

This is an exercise which you can do while lying down on a mat or bed but preferably on a flat surface. While lying flat, put your feet together. Bend your knees such that it forms a 90degree angle then lift up with your back still flat on the bed/mat, forming an inverted L shape. With both legs together, let it fall slowly but steadily to the left side then back up to the center then, to the right side and repeat. While dropping yr legs from the left to the right, do keep your upper body facing up at all times! Like the Monkey Bar Method, you would like the hear the cracking sound from your lower back then it would be considered effective. :)

All those exercises which i haf suggested probably would be hard to solve the back pain permanantly as we haf to pluck out the root of the problem, the actual cause of the back pain. Here i am going to share with you one great possibility of why you are suffering from a back damn pain. :)

Indigestion.
When a person suffers from indigestion, it also means that the person's intestine is piled up with shit that cant be disposed of the body 'on-time!' horribly incorrigible -_-. when that happens it actually expand the intestine thus when the loads gets to big for comfort and pushes outward in such a way that it touches the spine, resulting the spine to push outwards too putting it in contact with the nerves around tat region. So wala!! You got yr back pain! =) This is a personal experience so i can tell you, this information is 110% true. I had back pain so bad getting up from bed had been a torment. That desperation led me to seek solution. I knew i needed dem and fast. :) I had my share. But the good thing is i did manage to overcome tis problem i had through research and finding alternative methods other than medication which doesnt usually deal with the core of the problem that solved my problem so that's why i would like to offer these suggestions which i think I belief would help those who are in pain and desperate to rid off this extra freaking hair pulling ordeals :).

On how to digest well i did write some tips in my blog in one of my entries =)
