Lower Right Back Pain

Back Pains are one of the most popular complaints doctors hear about. Lower right back pains are caused when muscles are strained, ligaments are torn, joints are injured, bones are fractured, nerves are irritated, discs are herniated, and stress can tighten back structure. If you're working out to often, or sitting at your computer to often, or even sleeping in the wrong position, you could be straining your back causing pains in the lower back. There are muscles in which support your spine, such as the extensor muscles, the flexor muscles, and the oblique muscles, if any of these muscles gets strained it will cause a sharp consistent pain. Symptoms of lower right back pains could mean two things; if your pain is a deep, aching, burning pain and feels as if it travels down your leg, you're probably experiencing chronic back pain, but if your pain is very sharp, deep in the lower right part of your back, this could be the result of a back injury. Slow Gentle exercises every day could slowly bring down the pain in your back and bring it back to 100%. Exercising is the most important thing you can do if you have non-specific back problems. An easy wonderful stretch for the lower back is called the “camel stretch” to do this stretch kneel on the ground with your hands placed in front of you. Keep your head up and facing forward at all times. Stretch your back so your hips and buttocks are in the air, hold the stretch for 5-10 seconds, do this stretch multiple times in one day. Another great stretch for the lower back is called the “cobra” stretch this stretch can be performed one of two ways. The first way to do the “cobra” is to lay face down, and put your hands on each side of your shoulders as if you were in the push-up position. Then extend your arms and let your lower back sag to the ground, assume the stretch for 10-15 seconds. The other way to perform the “cobra” would be to lay face down and arch your back, lifting your head as high as you can while keeping your eyes looking at the ground. Make sure you do these stretches anywhere between 5-10 times a day. Also make sure you are doing these stretches slowly and gracefully and most importantly, correct! Once you stretch, ice the affected area of the back for 15 minutes on and off. If you have lower right back pains and you stretch and rest, and the pain just doesn't go away, make sure you see a doctor or chiropractor, your back could be seriously injured.
