Every day millions of people suffer what is best described as a back ache. Not the deep chronic back pain felt by many, but a slight ache or tightness in the lower back muscles.
Usually, these aches just go away on their own. That’s the problem. They go away so nothing is done in response to the bodies warnings.
Far too often the untreated condition is only the beginning of the chronic pain to come. Ignoring minor back aches is the number one cause of low back pain.
Listen to your body when it tells you something. A minor back ache is your body telling you in a soft voice to do something about the condition. If you don’t heed the early warnings, it will speak louder and louder until you hear it. For many, the constant screaming of intense chronic pain is all they will hear.
All too often the response is an attempt to translate what your body is telling you to a doctor. The signals get crossed up somewhere between your mouth and the prescription pad. The pain is treated but the underlying condition is left unaddressed.
Whether you have a seriously painful and chronic condition or a minor back ache, listen to what your body is saying and treat it accordingly.
Your body will never lie to you. If it says it has any back problem at all, you should listen no matter how small the pain is.
You back ache should be treated with exercises that stretch the spine in a straight line, and they must be regularly done. But that is a small price to pay to prevent the chronic back pain that will surely arrive if you do nothing.
