Relevance of relaxation
The causes of back pain are extremely varied, with the majority of back pain being due to muscular problems such as tension and incorrect strain on the back muscles, as well as malfunctioning of the small joints between the individual vertebrae. An important treatment approach is therefore the release of tension. First of all, physiotherapy, sports and an adjustment of the working and living environment should be tackled.
It makes sense to first loosen up the back muscles with various exercises and to do these regularly in everyday life. All in all, there is a large number of relaxation exercises on the Internet that are easy to imitate. Depending on where exactly the pain is located, you can search specifically for exercises for the upper, middle or lower back muscles.
It is important to keep in mind that the pain does not disappear immediately after performing the exercises once. It often takes a few weeks before the first results can be achieved. You can find more examples under: Exercises for loosening and relaxing while standing or sitting If no success can be achieved with the above approaches, pain therapy with typical medications such as Ibuprofen, Voltaren or Diclofenac can be used.
If these do not help either, there is still the possibility of medicinal relaxation of the back muscles. Effective preparations to relax the back muscles are pridinol mesilate or methocarbamol, which triggers its relaxing effect in the central nervous system. The medicinal relaxation of the back muscles should only be considered if the conservative treatment fails and is therefore not the method of choice for the treatment of back pain.
