How to get rid of lower back pain

1. Find out what is causing the pain. Pain is your body's way of telling you something is wrong. Go to a physical therapist, doctor or chiropractor and explain the pain.

2. Realize that some lower back problems are caused by bad posture. A physical therapist or a chiropractor can help you learn correct posture.

3. Learn safe & effective stretches to improve flexibility, take pressure off of joints and make good posture easier to maintain.

4. Learn to stabilize the low back using leg and abdominal muscles.

5. The most common cause of lower back pain is weakened Abdominal muscles which can be created by tight hip flexors and erector spinae muscles. To stimulate the weakened Abdominals rub your inner thigh as there is neuro-lymphatic reflex there which increases the strength of the muscle - combine this with abdominal exercises (not sit-ups) and the Abdominals will strengthen. Stretch the Hip Flexors and the Erector Spinae before you do the Abdominal exercise. This will strengthen the low back although you may need to get the lower spine moving freely also for permanent relief.

Regular exercise is essential in order to make your back stronger and allow you to go back slowly to daily activity. There are many exercises for lower back that will provide relief or eliminate your lower back pain. You can get excellent results within 10-20 minutes of doing lower back exercises, 1-3 times a day.
