Lower back ache is the 5th common health problem in US. Out of ten adults, nine were experiencing lower back pain at some point in their lives. Five out of ten working adults have back pain every yearly.

If you’re also suffering from lower back ache, it is absolutely NORMAL. The cause for lower back ache may be due to an old time injury you made during your childhood or much common mistakes you make every day- Positional dysfunction. Sitting, walking, standing or even sleeping with inaccurate positions for long term can cause lower back pain.

Let’s take sleep for an example. Do you know which position of sleeping is best for your back? The answer is side sleeping. If you’re suffering from lower back pain at the moment, side sleep with your knees bent with a pillow under your head and another between your legs is the best position to have your ache cured.

Next example- Sitting. To cure your lower back ache, sit in chairs with straight backs or low-back support. Try to keep your knees slightly higher than your hips. When driving, move the seat forward and sit straight. This helps you not to lean forward to reach the controls. A small pillow or rolled towel can be placed behind your lower back if you’re making long distance driving.

Walking might be an exercise we perform the most daily. Inaccurate walking positions will cause muscle balance and lower back ache problem in long run. So how should you walk properly? Firstly, your back should be straight as you walk, allowing for its natural curves. You shouldn’t be leaning backwards or forwards. A slight forward lean is acceptable on hill climbs. When you walk, your heel should be the first to hit the ground rather than your toes. Shorter steps are always better than longer steps to give a better workout on your joints.

The body positional tips above are used to cure and relieve your back ache problems. If your ache still lasts after using the tips above, it is recommended to seek medical advice from back specialist or acupuncture doctors to have your back ache cured.
