I know that many of you, like me, do or have suffered through serious lower back pain problems. Like all of you, too, I’d tried everything there was to try. I’d done pain killers, injections, therapy and chiropractors. None of these things seemed to help me for any more than the short term, and I made up my mind that there had to be a better option. From there, I moved on to looking at homeopathic remedies and I kept coming back to meditation and other “relaxation” techniques as ways to help with my l4 and l5 back pain that I was plagued by.
I discovered yoga, meditation, and various exercises that actually helped with my pain. Sure, for a while, pain was a fact of life but the more I stuck by it, the more the pain would subside and the longer it would stay away. It was like breathing new life in to old muscles through the different techniques that I learned. The best part of the entire process was that it could be combined with other techniques and it was simple to learn and remember.
Learning to meditate was a simple process involving slowly focusing on your breathing, and nothing else. As you slow your breathing, you find that you relax your muscles and that as those muscles relax, they begin to hurt less. The more often you meditate, the longer the effect is going to last as your body is given a chance to recover from years of damage and hard work. Meditation also helps to rid the body of stress, which, in turn, will help to relieve any tension in your muscle. This tension relief will lead to less strain in the back, and to less of the lower back pain that you’re looking for.
There are also a variety of exercises that you can use in conjunction with your meditation, such as yoga, which can help to stretch and relax the muscles. These stretches will have the same healing effect as the relaxation from meditation, working out the knots and the trigger points.
For lower back pain treatment at home , the combination of the two has been a godsend that, over time, has led to a much better quality of life as I’m now comfortable enough to do all of the things that I always wanted to do but was in too much pain for.
Combining exercise stretches and meditation has, for me, been an excellent way to help relieve my pain without taking all of the painkillers for back pain on the market. It’s saved me money and virtually eliminated my pain over time. I still have the occasional bad moment, but the majority of my time is spent enjoying the life I have, the way I want to enjoy it.
