Dealing with Back Pain

Back pain is no minor problem. If you’re experiencing continuous back pain schedule a visit with your doctor as soon as possible. For chronic back pain sufferers there are a few options to take that your doctor will probably recommend. The first is a pain reliever or anti-inflammatory to help manage any pain. Physical therapy is often beneficial for back pain caused by a pinched nerve. Exercises with the guidance of a professional PT will help strengthen the back and/or core muscles. Taking care of these muscles should help take some of the pressure off of one’s spine and the nerve causing an issue. Another option for back pain sufferers is to consider wearing a back brace. Core Products offers a number of back relief options. If you find yourself sitting for long periods of time, a back brace might not be a realistic option. However, something like attaching better lumbar support back cushions to your office chair is a great alternative. If something is seriously wrong surgery might be the recommended path. Again, minor back pain? First try some over the counter options to see if it’s a one-time, passing issue. Continuous or sharp, piercing back pain? Please see a doctor. No one should have to deal with crippling back pain for the rest of their lives. There are plenty of options available to provide relief from chronic back pain and everyone here at Core Products is more than willing to help you find what’s right for you and your back.
