You know what it feels like when out of the blue your back suddenly seizes in debilitating pain and it’s all you can do to keep from falling to the floor. That’s what acute back pain is, a sudden sharp and severe intense pain that comes on unexpectedly and quickly. This is unlike chronic back pain which is more continuous or constant. Fortunately there are ways to find relief for acute back pain that will help the symptoms until you can get proper medical treatment.
For anyone who has suffered acute back pain you know how difficult it can make everyday tasks. This type of pain is normally caused by some sort of injury to the back but can also be caused by other chronic conditions that have been left untreated. It is the type of pain that is hard to ignore and the best advice anyone can give it to schedule an appointment with your doctor to get the right treatment.
There are several things you can do for back pain relief before you see your doctor or even while you are letting your back heal. The most important thing to do is to try and keep your spine in a neutral position at all times. This means you want to keep the natural curvature of the spine intact. You can do this by using a lumbar role when sitting and by making a conscious effort to avoid slouching. When sitting it is also a good idea to use an ergonomically designed chair that offers good support. Avoid “comfy” furniture that is soft and offers little support as this can actually cause the pain to worsen.
If you need to drive or ride in a car there are a couple of things you can do to make the ride less painful. The lumbar role that you use around the house can also be used in the car to keep you spine in a neutral position. If you are driving consider moving the seat back to make you arms straighter when holding the steering wheel. This keeps the whole body in a more upright posture relieving the stress on your back.
Making the injury worse is the last thing you want to do if you are looking for back pain relief. Lifting anything heavy, or even a light load, should be avoided to keep from further aggravating the problem. Another thing you don’t want to do is sleep on a soft bed as it will not support the back and lengthen the healing process.
That is the key to any type of back pain relief from an injury or other condition, giving it a chance to heal. Of all the parts of the body the back can take an inordinate amount of time to heal. Trying to rush back into your old routine will only make the problem worse and take that much longer to get better.

Has anyone within ‘earshot’ had any sort of lower back pain relief with an inversion table?
I may have a pinched nerve in my lower back. In any case, it’s a dull, intermittent pain that is more nagging and chronic than severe and acute. But I cannot get relief. Has anyone tried an inversion table as a means of stretching the spine and lower back muscles, possibly relieving pressure on the nerves down there? I’m looking to try and remedy this myself before I go to a doctor. Thanks.

You should see the doctor first to know exactly what it is and to ensure that what you do for therapy does not cause more damage that can be permanent

Jennifer, it is a legitimate way to treat a lower back problem. Remember to take it slowly into a full inversion position. By that I mean it should be done incrementally not a full drop into inversion. It will take days to achieve a full position. There are some exercises that you can try to stop the pain before investing in an inversion table. They might sound silly but they work and the only thing that you will need is a straight chair such as a kitchen chair. Sit in the chair and raise the left arm up as high as you can and then do the same with the right arm. One arm will go up higher than the other and you will start with that arm. Raise that arm up as high and hard as you can for thirty seconds and then rest for fifteen seconds. Repeat that twice more and then do the opposite side. Do all three cycles of the movement using the thirty seconds as hard as you can and then the fifteen second rest period. Next turn the head to the left as hard as you can and then turn to the right. One side will turn further so start with that side. Turn towards that side for thirty seconds as hard as you can and then rest for fifteen seconds. Repeat that twice more and then do the same three cycles on the opposite side. Get up and move around and the back should feel freer and in less pain. Return to the chair and make sure that your feet are planted flat on the floor and don’t shift. Twist to the left as far as you can go and then go to the right. One side is going to turn further so start in that direction. Twist in that direction for thirty seconds as hard as you can and then rest for fifteen seconds. Repeat that routine twice more and then go to the other side and do the entire routine three times. Get up and walk around and the back should feel better and freer. Lastly return to the chair and do this movement. Bring the Left knee up to the Right shouder and then bring the Right knee up to the Left shoulder. One movement should be freer so start with that side. Bring the one knee up to the opposite shoulder as hard as you can for thirty seconds and then rest for fifteen seconds. Repeat that twice more and then go to the other side and do three cycles of the movements. Now get up and move around. The back at this stage should feel somewhat better. Do this entire routine at least once a day and if possible twice.
