Back pain for two months. What could be the cause?
Back pain can be caused by a number of factors. If you have been suffering it for 2+ months, it is recommended you have it evaluated by a professional. In chiropractic, we see physical, chemical, & mental stress accumulate overtime to lead to symptoms. A very common cause is an accumulation of postural stress. There is a point or threshold where we exceed our body's ability to adapt and we begin to notice symptoms. It could be that the problem was developing prior, you just did not have symptoms yet.

What is the best way to get my muscles to relax?
A lot depends on if the muscles are just tight or actually strained. For tight muscles, you may use heat to draw in circulation and loosen the tightness. Soaking in Epsom salts bath will provide magnesium salts that will assist loosening as well. If there is swelling/acute inflammation you will want to avoid heat therapy. In this case, the rest is most important. Allowing adequate time for the muscles to heal/repair is crucial. Eating an anti-inflammatory diet including lots of vegetables antioxidants is key. Avoiding aggravating movements is necessary as well to prevent aggravation of the injury. Try to avoid long sustained postures which will cause increased tightness. And of course if you suspect injury, consultation with a licensed chiropractor/physician is recommended. READ MORE
