Modern & sedentary lifestyle has made back pain one of the major problems in people across all ages. Most of the people are not even aware why they are suffering from back ache and many of them don’t even know how to deal with it. Statics shows that only 10% of these people have been able to get rid of continuous back pain issue. It requires hard work and proper exercise schedule to overcome back pain problems.
2-3 days of absolute bed rest is very helpful in totally offloading the spine to allow it to heal. Thereafter, gradual spinal exercises and physiotherapy sessions under supervision of a trained physiotherapist is the best way to get back in shape. Maintaining a correct posture is essential to make sure there is no recurrence of back pain.
