If you have always wanted to go in to get a massage but just didn’t want to spend the money, you may have a great excuse to finally do it. Massage is a proven method for relieving discomfort and back pain, but make sure to find a massage therapist who specializes in back-related issues.
A magnesium deficiency could be to blame for your back pain. Try to get about 250 milligrams of magnesium each day, which will help to improve the way your muscles function and support overall back health. You can get magnesium through a calcium supplement that contains magnesium and vitamin D, or by eating beans, nuts, whole grains, and dark leafy greens.
A vitamin D deficiency can also contribute to back pain and a weakening of ligaments and muscles in the body, but you can boost your vitamin D levels by getting more sunlight or adding vitamin D-enriched foods and drinks to your diet. It can be hard to get enough sunlight when it’s cold outside or in the middle of winter, but you can also boost your vitamin D levels by eating fatty fish such as mackerel, herring, sardines, and tuna, or drinking fortified beverages such as juices or dairy products.
Many herbs and spices are great for anti-inflammation, so try turmeric, valerian root, ginger, white willow bark, or herbal oil.
