16. Limit Screen Time
This is the first step in becoming more active, less sedentary, and improving your posture. Most people slouch when watching TV, working on their computer, and playing on their phone. Get out from in front of the screens as often as possible, and pay close attention to your posture when you can.
17. Take Care of Your Mental Health
There is a strong correlation between mental health and physical pain. One study found that individuals who score poorly on mental health psychological tests are three times more likely to report back pain.
Keeping a healthy mind and a positive outlook helps reduce pain levels, especially in those that can’t find pain relief through conventional treatment methods.
Bottom Line
Back pain is a drag, but these simple home remedies for back pain are a great place to start. If one method doesn’t work, try another.
The best results will likely come from a combination of the above recommendations, so don’t be afraid to try more than one in the same day.
Be aware of your body – there is a difference between discomfort and pain. If something causes extra pain, don’t try it again unless your back pain is gone or you’re under the supervision of a professional.
Good luck and be well!
