What should I do if I have back pain in the morning?

After a good night's sleep, I suddenly felt back pain when I woke up in the morning. I believe many people know this situation. Back pain may not seem to be a serious illness, but the uncomfortable feeling is very torturous. Many people will be confused. They were fine before going to bed, but why do they feel back pain when they wake up? They didn’t do anything wrong. In fact, back pain in the morning is related to your sleeping posture every night. Of course, there are more than one reason.

What to do if you have back pain in the morning?

Many times people do a lot of exercise before going to bed, or stay up late to work in front of the computer, which will cause you to wake up with back pain. This is similar to the reason why your legs hurt after exercise, but it's because you're tired. Moreover, people’s daily sitting and standing postures can easily cause back pain. So don't ignore some details in life. Maintaining a fixed posture for a long time can easily cause back pain.

Back pain may come from wrong posture. Posture is the most important factor in determining whether the back is healthy. Wrong posture is the main cause of back and back diseases, which usually leads to premature irreversible degenerative changes in the bones and joints of the spine, muscle imbalance and tension, and ligament relaxation or over-tightening, all of which can cause back pain.

Backward walking exercise (walking backwards) has a good effect on the rehabilitation of chronic low back pain. You can try walking backwards. Wear flat shoes when walking backwards, walk slowly with small steps, and exercise enough so that your waist does not feel tired. You can exercise in small amounts and multiple times. Excessive exercise will aggravate the back pain. You can gradually increase the amount of exercise as the pain frequency decreases and the pain is relieved. You should do it within your ability and pay attention to safety.

Walking backwards can force the body's center of gravity to move backwards and correct excessive curvature of the spine. However, walking backwards is not easy to persist and is not very safe. In fact, you can also force your center of gravity to move backward when standing. Stand barefoot or in flat shoes, and step on a book about 20 mm thick with the forefoot. This will make your foot higher in the front and lower in the back, which can also force your center of gravity to move backward. The longer the time, the better. If you feel that the symptoms have been alleviated, you can consider using negative heel shoes with a higher front and lower back sole. They can be bought in some tertiary hospitals. Walking normally in this outfit is equivalent to walking backwards. It follows the same principle as walking backwards, forcing the body's center of gravity to move backwards, correcting pelvic tilt and lumbar lordosis.

Pay attention to maintaining a good posture at ordinary times, and don't sit or stand for a long time. If you maintain a fixed posture for a long time, once you maintain a posture for more than 20 minutes, your muscles will begin to tighten. No matter what posture it is, it is not good to maintain it for too long, and incorrect posture will aggravate back pain.

If you have lower back pain, it is recommended not to wear shoes with heels. Any shoes with heels will aggravate pelvic tilt and lumbar lordosis, aggravating lower back pain. Everyone knows that high heels can cause and aggravate low back pain, and the same goes for mid-heeled shoes.

Pay attention to maintaining a good standing, sleeping and sitting posture to protect your waist. Go to the hospital for examination and timely treatment of the specific condition.

People always think that back pain is not a serious illness and it will be better after a while. Even if it is not good today, it will be better tomorrow. So people don’t care about the reasons and don’t correct their problems. You should know that if you often suffer from back pain, it is very likely that there is something wrong with your body. So everyone must pay attention to it, correct their problems, and keep themselves away from back pain.
