Using Back Stretches for Pain Relief

Are you or a loved one suffering from back pain? Sadly, many Americans suffer from back pain regularly. Left untreated, back pain can ruin your quality of life. Fortunately, chiropractic care at Health First Chiropractic Marysville can provide the pain relief you need to help you get back to living your life to your fullest. For now, let’s take a look at some common back stretches that can relieve pain and help strengthen your back.

The Right Back Stretches for Pain Relief

If you need help figuring out how to perform these stretches, reach out to our chiropractor.

Stretch #1 The Cat Stretch

Have you ever seen a cat stretch? Don’t they look relaxed and content while they do so? While you are on your hands and knees, arch your back up as a cat would.

Stretch #2 The Child’s Pose

In this pose, you start in the tabletop position, then you extend your arms out, palms down. After that, you lower your back and stretch out fully, holding the position for twenty to thirty seconds.

Stretch #3 Knee to Chest Stretch

Laying on your back, bring your knees up to as close to your chest as possible (without causing pain). Then wrap your arms around your knees and hold the position for thirty or so seconds.
