Ways to soothe common aches and pains

You may experience body pain at home with the wrong pillow, or sitting at wrong posture and for many other reasons. But you should not ignore these body pains as they can be serious. Here is the list of these common aches and pains and ways to soothe them.

Neck and shoulder pain

Let’s face the truth, most of us spend hours before the monitor, and if you do not sit upright or your seat is uncomfortable, you will feel severe pain in the neck, shoulder and back. Don’t just sit on it or apply endless amounts of over-the-counter creams, as this will only offer temporary relief. What you really need to do is straighten up and work on your back, shoulder and neck stability.

Choose activities that align your posture.

Chest pain      

Are you suffering from chest pain? It could well be a heart related problem or acidity. When your stomach produces more gas and acidity than it can handle, it travels to your chest, giving you a burning sensation. In severe cases, acidity can cause heartburn, headache, and severe stomach ache.

The best way to reduce acidity and chest pain is to change your diet and start exercising. Avoid spicy and oily food, excess alcohol and smoke and stay off junk food.

Back pain

Don’t neglect back pain, you don’t want more trouble. When someone has back pain, they must first consult their doctor to know which exercises are completely off limits and which are the ones that they can follow. In general, there are some exercises that should be best avoided for those with back pain. These would include sit-ups, lying leg raises, standing toe touches, long distance jogging, etc.”

Heel pain

We use our heel more often than we know as each step lands on our heels. Heels can hurt with high heel shoes too. Without the heel we are immobile. Heel pain is worse if you are diabetic. Surgery is the last resort for those who didn’t read all the warning signs; all you need is exercise, passive stretching of the heel, hot and cold fermentation of the foot, wearing silicon heel pads if needed, and anti-inflammatory drugs such as Diclofenac or Etoricoxib.
