So here are some tips to relieve back pain:
-Have a proper sleeping position
-Keep good posture
-Do low-impact exercise & stretching
-Get a physical therapy
Or you all can try acupuncture and cupping therapy
In TCM Acupuncture can help to ease types of pain that are often chronic such as neck pain, low back pain, and joint pain. It may also help reduce the frequency of tension headaches and prevent migraine headaches. Acupuncture is the insertion of fine, thin needles through the skin, particularly at acupoints to help stimulate the body and promote self-healing. Acupuncture typically increases blood circulation to the area, promotes elasticity of muscle fibres and improves muscular contractility.
Also, Cupping helps relieves the back pain as pressure is applied to the points that cause pain, and the blood flow begins to increase in the area within the vessels and capillaries. This eases the muscles and helps with the supply of nutrients and oxygen that the body needs. The essence of this therapy is the Cupping Points that target the areas of pain accurately and naturally reduce muscle pain. Cupping works along to release the tension in the tissue of the body and, in doing so relaxes the sore muscles, and eases the neck and back pain.
