Every experience is unique, and back pain relief looks different for everyone. However, there are more general ways to reduce back pain in the long term. The following are tips from a chiropractor on how to relieve back pain through a treatment plan with a chiropractor as well as through at-home remedies, exercise, and treatments.

These exercises are intended to improve range of motion and help keep the back muscles strong, so they can properly handle the workload that is placed upon them each day.
Hot and cold treatments at home can help reduce inflammation in the back that causes discomfort. Try icing in 20-minute intervals for several days and then switching to heat therapy for several days to relax the muscles and reduce discomfort.
Bad posture is one of the leading contributing factors to chronic back pain. This is common among those who sit at a desk or drive for extended hours each day. When sitting or walking, be mindful of your posture and let the chiropractor know if there are any issues maintaining your ideal posture.
Remaining active by walking or running regularly and light weightlifting workouts is a great way to keep the back muscles strong and flexible. Many chiropractors also encourage eating healthily and maintaining an ideal weight to the best of your ability to reduce the risk of increased stress on the spinal cord, nerves, and muscles in the back that are vulnerable to discomfort.
