What to do to ease the severe back pain?

What can you do at home to help ease lower back pain?

• iv got extreme lower back pain, mainly on my left side. cant afford a chiropractor so i was wondering what practices you can do at home to help ease lower back pain?

• Answer:

  if you sit up straight, that will help your lower back pain. there is also a yoga move i like to do that has helped when my back is hurting. lie on your back with your knees bent. place your hands on your knees (keep your back and shoulders on the ground... you will have to lift your feet off the ground to do this) and relax your legs and your arms. at this point, your arms are holding your legs off the floor and there should be approximately a right angle between your back and your thighs. concentrate on breathing slowly. when you breath out, slowly pull your knees towards your chest. you should feel your lower back rolling against the ground. as you breath in, slowly relax your arms and release your knees away from your chest. you should continue to pull your knees in and out as you breath for a few minutes. your back will feel better when you're done!
