Natural Remedy for Lower Back Pain, Stiffness and Discomfort

 


Natural Remedy for Lower Back Pain, Stiffness and Discomfort

Back muscles play an essential role in maintaining proper posture and supporting our bodies; however, they can become damaged due to injuries, and over stretched and strained ligaments. While the effects of chronic low back pain can be far-reaching, recent studies suggest that one in four adults worldwide is affected by this potentially debilitating condition. (Casiano, 2022)

Back injuries can range from minor aches and sprains in the lower muscles to severe health conditions like arthritis, sciatica, and herniated discs. Back pain is an agonizing yet common problem among the population, especially to those who sit in the same position for long periods of time or take part in strenuous physical activities.

Traditional methods of treatment or alleviation such as certain medications and physical therapy may not provide the relief desired. Fortunately, there may be a natural remedy for those suffering from back pain, stiffness, and discomfort – lumbar support devices.

A lumbar support device offers targeted therapeutic comfort for your posture which can help reduce stress on the spine and alleviate or prevent further injury. Natural remedies can go a long way toward providing relief from lower back pain without having to resort to potentially detrimental pharmaceuticals or costly medical procedures.

What is a back stretcher?

A back stretcher is a supportive device designed to provide relief of lower back pain and provide lumbar support while improving overall posture. This tool is usually made from plastic, wood, or metal and can be easily adjusted to fit anyone's back comfortably.

The adjustable arch design allows for maximum spinal decompression which provides relief from tight muscles, disc displacement, and lumbar hyperextension. Using a back stretcher can improve balance and increase flexibility for stretching hamstrings, hip flexors, and glutes; additionally aiding in better posture habits over time. A few minutes of use each day can improve blood flow, mobility, posture, and spinal health.

 

How does a Back Support Stretcher work?

Back Support Stretchers help provide relief for those suffering from lower back pain by stretching and priming the muscles in the lumbar region. It allows for an even distribution of body weight, allowing tension to be released from the spine, and providing stress relief and pain reduction.

Back Support Stretchers not only help soothe existing back pain but also support injury prevention by offering a gentle stretch that helps to gradually improve posture which can prevent potential future aches or discomfort. An adjustable design ensures that you can adjust your stretcher as needed for optimum comfort.

 

What are the benefits of using a back stretcher?

Over time, a back stretcher can improve your posture while the lumbar support can help to relieve lower back pain by aiding in alignment and strengthening weakened muscles. Not only is a back stretcher great for backaches after sitting too long, but it also provides an ideal space for relaxation and stress relief. Use it as part of a self-care routine when you need some time out or want to deepen breathing – increasing oxygen supply throughout the body while gently opening up ribcage area muscles which can help with relieving tension headaches.

What is the best way to loosen up your back?

One of the best ways to loosen up your back is through regular stretching. Back stretchers are great tools for anyone with lower back pain, back injuries, or general lumbar support needs. Back stretchers relieve tension and stretch out tight muscles in the lower back region, helping you maintain good posture and improve your spine’s health.

Using it for regular stretching can help reduce acute or chronic low back pain, as well as provide more stabilizing support for daily activities such as sitting on the couch or in an office chair. Just 15-20 minutes of use a day is enough to improve flexibility and reduce discomfort in your back. (Malanga, 2018)

Does a back stretching device relieve back pain?

Back stretching devices have become increasingly popular to help people recover from or prevent back injuries or lower back pain. As lumbar support helps relieve pressure on the spine, many individuals use these devices for a few minutes a day in an effort to alleviate muscle soreness and irritation. According to a study, patients who did extra stretching exercises had a significant decrease in the pain level compared to the people who didn't. (Khalil et al., 1992)

  • Acupressure Top with Cushion Pads – For everyday support and relief to your back pains, it is equipped with NBR padding that provides optimal spinal comfort while its design enables you to stretch during daily activities.

 

How to use a Back Stretcher?

You can use the back stretcher in different positions for varying degrees of intensity or you can focus on specific areas to work on knots and tight spots.

Place the back stretcher flat on the floor and lie down between the arch supports with your feet slightly apart. Gradually raise your body so that full weight is centered on the Back Stretcher, then hold for 10-15 seconds and repeat up to ten times. Aside from this, you can also use the strap provided to tie the back stretcher to your seat for lumbar support.

 

How long should you lie on a back stretcher?

Lying on a back stretcher for five minutes twice each day can help improve lumbar support and reduce chronic lower back pain.

For beginners, you can start by lying on the back stretcher for just two minutes at a time and gradually work your way up to five minutes.

 

Can a back stretcher damage your back?

A back stretcher typically alleviates lower back pain. However, if not used properly, it can overstretch the muscles. Overstretching the back muscles may tear or pull some of the muscle fibers, leading to pain, swelling, tenderness, bruising, and redness in the affected area. Therefore please follow our guidelines above to use it correctly. (Morse, 2019)

Is it okay to stretch your back every day?

Daily stretching exercises are a great way to improve lumbar support and prevent lower back pain. While stretching every morning can be beneficial, you don't have to do this every day. Even completing two or three sessions of back stretches per week can help increase flexibility and reduce aches and pains. (Malanga, 2018)
