Stopping Morning Back Pain

Many back pain sufferers experience morning back pain. A nagging burning sensation that either represents a pinched nerve or inflammation caused by spending too much time in a bad position (while asleep).

There are really two ways to attack morning back pain. One is by getting a new bed. But they are expensive and may not solve the problem. If you want to go this route, get a Sleep Number bed so it can be adjusted according to your needs.

But most people can't afford a new bed, much less a replaceMent if the first choice proves to be no help or makes things worse.

Instead, to help minimize the risk of morning back pain, you should do an extension exercise followed by a stretching of the back before bed time. This will relieve your back of as much compression stress as possible before you go to bed making things have to move farther before initiating new pain.

A few minutes of mild inversion will do better. About 30 degrees for five minutes would be plenty. If you do not have an inversion table, you are strongly advised to get one just as soon as you can.

If you still have morning back pain even if you are doing the stretches before going to bed, it should be easily relieved by doing the stretches again first thing in the morning. Fact is, with a good extension and stretch routine just done before bed and waking up, you will go a long way toward the elimination of the pain enTirely.

Morning back pain is not something you should ignore. It is easy to deal with and you can do it by yourself. Best of all, the steps you take for correcting your morning back pain are the same as what you need to do to build or maintain a healthy back.

The end result of effective back pain treatMent extends long into the day.
