Lower right back pain<\/a> is a big problem for many people. The pain can be mild and annoying, or it can be severe and debilitating. The cause of the pain can determine the severity of it and the type of treatment it requires. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While there are many different treatment options that can help improve back pain, but many of them require hospitalization, doctor appointment, or surgery. Some people prefer to treat the pain at home to see if it improves before they seek medical attention and diagnosis. If you are hoping to treat your own lower right back pain, you should try to determine the cause of the pain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These care tips can help ease the pain and help you live a normal life. If you experience severe pain, other symptoms, or if the pain lasts more than a couple weeks, you should seek medical attention to determine the cause of the pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Improve Posture<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Your posture <\/a>can take a toll on your back. If you sit all day at a desk or stand all day for work, you probably experience lower back pain on your right side or in general. This is because your spine is not in the correct position to support your body, and too much pressure is being put on it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most people don\u2019t realize they have poor posture. They think that because they can stand or sit comfortably for long periods, they are okay. When you have bad posture, your body may not hurt at the moment or while you are standing or sitting incorrectly, but will hurt after. Some people experience pain when they move around and walk or even attempt to relax. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improving your posture will allow your spine to support your body properly and won\u2019t put pressure on your lower back. It can take some time to get used to sitting or standing with the proper posture, but you should notice relief quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

2. Lose Weight<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When you are overweight<\/a>, your back struggles to support your body. Your muscles become weak, and your bones simply can\u2019t support the extra weight. As a result, your lower back may be under a lot of pressure and can become worn down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lower back muscle and joints can become inflamed and swollen, and fractures are more likely to occur. Losing weight can take off some of the pressure and make it easier for you to maintain a correct posture, walk and move properly, and even rest correctly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can lose weight with plenty of exercise and healthy eating. If you are severely overweight, talk to your doctor about your options. You may need weight loss surgery or the help of a nutritionist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Losing weight won\u2019t only help relieve the pain from the lower right side of your back, but the pain from other areas of the back and body as well. It can also help improve your overall health and make you feel more energetic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

3. Exercise<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Exercise <\/a>is probably the last thing you have on your mind if you are suffering from lower back pain, but it can actually help relieve it. Sometimes, back pain is caused by arthritis and inflammation in the joints. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moving around can help reduce inflammation and allow your blood to flow more easily. This can help reduce pain in many areas of your body. You back take a lot of strain and stress, and many people have to sit or stand still for long periods of time at work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This can cause the back to become stiff. Moving around during exercise can help loosen up the muscles and allow them to help support the body better. This relieves some of the pressure from the spin and can relieve pain. If your back hurts when you exercise, try starting out with some low impact movements. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yoga, swimming, and walking are usually easy on the body and can help you transition into tougher exercises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

4. Get a New Mattress<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Your mattress could be a big reason you back hurts. Mattresses don\u2019t maintain their shape forever, and if you have had your mattress longer than a couple of years, it may be time for a new one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you haven\u2019t had your mattress very long but think it could be the cause of your back pain, consider flipping it over. This allows the mattress to retain its shape by removing some pressure from one spot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many people flip their mattresses over every few months to get better sleep. Your mattress shouldn\u2019t be too hard or too soft. It should be comfortable to sleep on, but also firm enough to support your spine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may also want to consider getting new pillows, as they can affect the way you sleep on your neck, which can mess up the alignment in your spine<\/a>. If your mattress doesn\u2019t feel right and you aren\u2019t sleeping well, it may be time to purchase a new mattress that can help relieve your back pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

5. Massage<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Massage <\/a>can do wonders for sore muscles, and if the cause of the pain in your lower right back is because of muscle pain, it could make a difference. You can learn to do the massage techniques yourself for some relief, but most people prefer to have someone else do it. You can make an appointment at a local spa or have a friend or partner massage your back instead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In most cases, it is best to have a professional do it because they are more aware of which sports and trigger points can help relieve the pain in specific areas. Some people go to get massages regularly to help with back pain the lower right back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While massage can help relieve the pain and may help improve certain muscle conditions, if there is an underlying cause, other types of treatments may be necessary as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In some cases, massage may not be an option and can aggravate the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

6. Heat and Cold Therapy<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Some types of back pain can be improved with heat and cold therapy<\/a>. Heat and cold can help muscles relax and relieve the pain associated with tight muscles and muscle spasms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can apply the heat to the area for 20 to 30 minutes at a time and then follow with the cold. Sometime you may want to do the opposite. The contrast will help increase blood flow to the muscles in the back and help them heal faster if they are torn or sprained. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can find heat and cold compresses at many pharmacies and department stores. You can also make an appointment with a doctor or chiropractor and arrange to have the heat and cold therapy done in an office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Depending on the cause of your back pain, you may need to have this therapy a few times a week. You should start to notice some relief within the first few therapy sessions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

7. Epsom Salt<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This is a popular home remedy for lower back pain and can also be used to treat pain on other parts of the body. Epsom salt<\/a> helps reduce inflammation and swelling and increases the blood flow in the body so it can heal faster. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can soak in Epsom salt in the comfort of your own home. Just feel your bathtub with warm water and add the right amount of Epsom salt. Sit in the bathtub for a while until you start to feel some relief. You can soak in Epsom salt twice a day or as needed until you find some relief. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Epsom salt can help relieve the pain, but if there is an injury or underlying cause that is responsible for the pain, another treatment may be necessary to stop the pain from returning.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the pain doesn\u2019t subside after a few soaks in Epsom salt, it may be necessary to see a doctor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

8. Pain Medication<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Pain medication <\/a>is a popular way to treat the most types of pain, and lower back pain is no exception. You should always check with your doctor to make sure it\u2019s safe for you to take any medication, especially if you already take other medications regularly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pain medication can help ease and relieve the pain associated with mild injuries and pain, but it won\u2019t help improve any underlying causes. If you have taken pain medication for more than a couple of weeks and are still suffering from lower right back pain symptoms, you may want to consider seeking medical attention.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A doctor can diagnose an underlying issue and treat it properly. Some pain medication can hide the pain of an injury or make it seem less severe. Don\u2019t let the treatment of the symptoms become more important than the diagnosis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pain medication can only be taken for so long before it stops working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\r\n
