Nearly 80% of Americans will experience a back problem during their lifetime. It may be triggered by a strenuous activity, such as gardening or exercise, or by just bending down to pick up some little oject on the floor. They find themselves in a lot of pain looking for a low back pain cure, wondering if one really exists. It is so vital that you take care of any back pain or injury right away to prevent it from becoming a chronic problem, resutling in invasive surgery or addictive pain-killer drugs.

With a combination of chiropractic care, exercise, and a lifestyle change, there is a low back pain cure! Consider the life-changing tips below:

1. Limit bed rest for short-term low back pain.
2. Keep walking and exercising.
3. Maintain good posture to reduce strain on the back and keep pressure off the nerves.
4. See a Chiropractor for an individualized exercise plan and/or spinal decompression therapy.
6. Improve flexibility to put an equal load throughout the body—from the feet to the head.
7. Limit use of a brace to 15 minutes at a time so muscles don’t lose their strength.
8. Apply Ice and Heat (both are beneficial), whichever is the most comfortable.
9. Get enough sleep at night, and in the right position.
10. Quit Smoking—nicotine causes the small blood vessels to constrict and decreases the delivery of blood to the soft tissue.
11. Talk out your emotions and concerns (emotions can affect one's perception of pain).
12. Relax with meditation, deep breathing, tai chi, or yoga.

There is a lower back pain cure that is safe and drug-free that can get you moving again—spinal decompression therapy. It works with the body to restore proper function and health and has become a leading alternative health approach. Spinal decompression restores correct alignment to the structure of the spine so that nerve involvement is reduced or eliminated, reducing pain and allowing the body to heal naturally.
