But if you’re stuck at home with a bum back, it can be hard to really get out there and do all those fun things in the Colorado sun. Even daily tasks can be daunting when dealing with lower back pain.

Thankfully Fort Collins also has a wonderful holistic community that can help you get back on your feet quickly, without the use of drugs or invasive procedures. Here are some holistic techniques to try that will get you back in the saddle again…or the snowshoes…or the skis…or the snowboard, or….well, you get the thought!

Massage

Massage is probably the best known modality for releasing tension within the body, and is an brilliant way to relieve back pain. There are different styles of massage ranging from relaxation to therapeutic. The severity of your back pain will more than likely determine the style you choose. Relaxation massage is wonderful for increasing blood flow, lessening pain and tension and can possibly increase the range of motion in your back. Sports massage, neuromuscular rehabilitation techniques and other therapeutic styles focus more on increasing range motion, re-organizing muscle fibers to an appropriate resting length, and correcting established muscular patterns so they are more healthy and functional. Either way, massage is fantastic way to relieve back pain.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture has been around for thousands of years. By focusing on the channels of energy that run through the body, also known as meridians, an Acupuncturist can recognize any blocks that are causing pain and dysfunction in the body. An Acupuncturist stimulates our meridians by placing thin needles accurately and gently underneath the skin along the lines of the energy channel. This stimulation helps to remove the blocks that are preventing our life-force from flowing freely. The result is a body that is pain-free, balanced, and healthy.

Yoga

Also an ancient practice of health and wellness, yoga has been embraced by our culture enthusiastically, and its popularity continues to grow. Yoga is a wonderful exercise to help alleviate lower back pain. Its gentle, slow and methodical stretches, coupled with deep breathing can have a profound effect on the body and mind. Yoga looks to establish in its practitioners core strength, flexibility, silent mindfulness, and overall health.

Network Chiropractic Care

While still considered a form of chiropractic care, Network Chiropractic techniques are completely different than traditional methods.  In a session, the Chiropractor focuses on releasing distortions within the spinal cord by gently applying pressure to the connection points of where the spinal cord and vertebrae touch. Rather than focusing on adjusting the vertebrae themselves, as in traditional chiropractic, Network Chiropractic focuses on specific contact points, called spinal gateways, which alters the state or tone of the spinal cord, allowing the vertebrae to self right and the neurology to release tension held in the system. Not only will Network Chiropractic alleviate lower back pain, it supports the body in staying balanced and healthy, eliminating future occurrences.

What is low back pain?
Low back pain is pain and stiffness in the lower back. Some studies showed that it is one of the most common reasons people miss work.
How does it occur?
Low back pain is usually caused when soft tissue like muscles and ligaments attaching a vertebra is strained. Vertebra is the back bone that protects the spinal cord inside. When these muscles or ligaments become weak or strained, the spine loses its stability, resulting in pain.
Low back pain can be caused by several reasons:
1)      Lifting and carrying heavy objects
2)      Static positions like spending a lot of time sitting or standing in one position
3)      Injury caused by a fall or by unusually strenuous exercise
4)      Tension and stress that even cause headaches in some people
5)      Violent sneezing or coughing
6)      Overweight
7)      An infection or an immune system problem
8)      Arthritic disorders, congenital and degenerative conditions
If you find the pain is accompanied by loss of bowel or bladder control, weakness in moving your legs, or tingling or numbness or pins and needles sensation in your legs may indicate an injury to your spine and nerves. Immediate medical treatment may be required.
What are the symptoms?
Symptoms include:
pain in the back or legs
stiffness, spasm, or limited movement
The pattern of pain could be continuous or intermittent. It may be aggravated by certain factors like certain movements or positions, coughing, sneezing, twisting, bending or straining during a bowel movement. The pain could be localized (i. e. you can point of one spot of pain) or diffused (i. e. pain would be spread to other areas).
If the pain is found below the knee, the involvement of a herniated disc or nerve impingement would be suspected.
In the following situation, be sure you seek for immediate medical advice:
1)      Significant weakness in your legs: You may prone to have the problem of nerve hurt.
2)      Problems of bladder or bowel control: Serve injury of spinal cord is suspected.
3)      Despite of treatment, your pain gets worse.
How long will the effects last?
Studies showed that 80% of back pain would recover within two week’s time.
How can I take care of myself?
Except for professional treatments, you may need to consider the following suggestions:
Practice excellent posture. Stand with your head upright, shoulders relax, chest forward, weight balanced evenly on both feet, and pelvis tucked in.
Manage weight if you are overweight
Try wrapping an ice pack in a towel and place on your back for 20 minutes, 1 to 4 times per day. Use a timer to avoid frostbite from using the ice pack too long.
If the back pain lasts for more than 48 hours, thermal therapy of using an electric heating pad or a hot water bottle wrapped in a towel for about 30 minutes would be used. Beware of getting burn by over-heating. Don’t fall asleep.
When you are lying faced up, place a pillow under your knees.
When you are side lying, place a pillow between your knees.
Sleep without a pillow under your head.
Early mobilization (activity and exercise) is usually recommended. Pain is used as an indicator of how much mobilization should do. In normal situation, mild soreness and discomfort would not be a problem. But, stop your activities for a while if:
1)      Your symptoms return.
2)      The pain increases when you are more active.
3)      The pain increases within 24 hours after a new or higher level of activity.
When can I return to my normal activities?
Return to your activities would be varied from individuals to individuals. Studies showed soft tissue normally requires 6 weeks to recover. In general, the longer than symptoms you have, the longer it will take to heal up. If you return too soon, your body may not be ready and get injured again.
It’s vital to know you have fully recovered from your back problem before you return to any vigorous activities. You must be able to return to your pre-morbid conditions (i. e. same range of motion as before and pain free).
What can I do to help prevent low back pain?
You can reduce the strain on your back by doing the following:
1) When you lift:
Bend your knees when you bend over.
Avoid lifting heavy objects higher than your waist.
Bend your knees and hips and keep your back straight when you lift a heavy object.
2) When you sit:
Whenever you sit, sit in a straight-backed chair and hold your spine against the back of the chair.
Use a footrest for one foot when you sit in one spot for a long time. This keeps your back straight.
Sit close to the pedals when you drive and use your seat belt and a hard backrest or pillow.
3) When you sleep:
Lie on your side with your knees bent when you sleep or rest. It may help to place a pillow between your knees.
Place a pillow under your knees when you sleep on your back.
Raise the foot of the bed 8 inches to discourage sleeping on your stomach unless you have other problems that require that you keep your head elevated.
4) Additional tips for resting your back:
Lie on your back, bend your knees, and place pillows under your knees.
Lie on your back, place a pillow under your neck, bend your knees to a 90-degree angle, and place your lower legs and feet on a chair.
Lie on your back, bend your knees, and bring one knee up to your chest and hold it there. Repeat with the other knee, then bring both knees to your chest. When holding your knee to your chest, grab your thigh rather than your lower leg to avoid over flexing your knee.
