Many things can cause low back injuries or muscle strain or spasm, sprains of ligaments (which attach bone to bone), joint problems or "slipped dis", this is also called a herniated disk happens when a disk between the bones of the spine bilges and preses on nerves. This is commonly caused by twisting while lifting.
1. The best position for relief when your back hurts is to lie on your back on the floor with pillows under your knees, with your hips and knees bent and your feet on a chair or just with your hips and knees bent. This takes the pressure and weight off your back. You may need this sort of rest for a hurt back.
2.Heating pads can help to relax painful muscle spasms.
3.Use Ice packs and massages may also give relief.
4.Don't lift by bending over. Lift an object by bending your knees and squatting to pick up the object.
5.If you must sit at your desk or at the wheel of a car or truck for long hours, break up the time with stops to stretch.
6.Wear flat shoes or shoes with low heels.
7.Exercise regularly, because an inactive lifestyle also contributes to lower back pain.
