4 “Tools” For Low Back Pain
Low back pain is a common issue that can be caused by a variety of factors, including muscle adhesions and chronic inflammation. While this duo can be tricky to deal with, there are steps you can take to manage your pain and improve your quality of life.
Start by implementing lifestyle changes such as lowering your body fat percentage, prioritizing sleep quality, eating an anti-inflammatory diet, moving more, managing stress, and drinking enough filtered water with enough electrolytes. These changes can help to reduce inflammation and improve overall health.
In addition to lifestyle changes, there are a number of tools and strategies that can be helpful for managing low back pain. One of my favorite self-mobilization tools is the Symbodi Vertiball. Magnesium is another essential nutrient that can help to reduce muscle cramps and spasms, promote sleep and relaxation, and potentially lower inflammation. Massage trigger point canes can also be helpful for targeting specific areas of pain and tension.
Finally, regular sauna use has been shown to be effective for reducing low back pain. Saunas work by promoting muscle relaxation, increasing blood flow, inducing sweating, and releasing endorphins. If you have access to a sauna, I encourage you to take advantage of it. Otherwise, you may want to consider investing in an infrared sauna blanket.
By implementing the strategies outlined in this article, you can take control of your low back pain and improve your quality of life.

Things Mentioned:
Magnesium: The best way to use magnesium after an injury to the lower back is to apply it transdermally to improve absorption using a topical one such as this.
Epsom salt is another form of magnesium that is great to use when you are soaking in a tub through a bath at home (use 2-3 cups).
Oral magnesium. Magnesium glycinate is the best bioavailable form. Two great types are Solaray Magnesium Glycinate and Life Extension Neuro-Mag Magnesium L-Threonate
Massage trigger point cane (a.k.a. the back massager rod, the Shepard's hook).
Sauna: After a lot of research, I went with the HigherDOSE sauna blanket because it uses infrared light, it's made with non-toxic materials, and it emits very low levels of EMF. I highly recommend it.
