Home Remedies for Back Pain , Neck Pain – Fast Pain Relief

Back pain and neck pain is one of the most common problems in the world today. Everyone goes through back ache problems at some point in their life. Most of the people take painkillers to relieve backache. But, there are few side effects associated with these painkiller medicines, hence, now day people choose natural home remedies for back pain.

Hot and Cold Packs :-

First, be sure to put ice on the injured area, then alternate with heat. The ice helps reduce inflammation by constricting the surrounding blood vessels and reducing blood flow and swelling. Apply ice for 15-20 minutes (not directly on the skin) at a time. After two days, heat should be applied to the area to increase blood flow.

Anti-Inflammatory Medication :-

Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) such as Advil, Nuprin or Ibuprofen have an advantage over other painkillers, because they also reduce swelling. People who are allergic to ibuprofen should try Aleve, Tylenol or Aspirin to reduce pain.

If you experience an attack of back pain, start taking NSAIDs for the next few days, as instructed on the bottle. They are much more effective if you can maintain a constant level of the drugs in your body. Try to avoid taking the pills and letting them wear off, before taking another dose the next day.

Keep Bed Rest to a Minimum :-

When you hurt, your body is telling you to stop doing the activity that is causing the pain. Back or neck pain can cause almost any activity to hurt. Lying down for a few days can seem like the most logical solution. However, more than two days of bed rest can cause the muscles in the back to weaken, making activity more painful and recovery slower. After one or two days, get up and move around. Take a slow walk to get moving again.
