Update : 21 Jun 2018, 05:56 PM

Nearly everyone will experience some form of back pain in his or her lifetime. The low back is the area behind the belly from the rib cage to the pelvis and is also called the lumbar region. You can easily remove your back pain by yourself by following a few simple steps.  

The culprit

Back pain is a major cause of missed work and poor physical movement. Mechanical issues and soft-tissue injuries are the most common causes of low back pain. These injuries can include damage to the intervertebral discs, compression of nerve roots and improper movement to the spiral joints. Some lower back pain can also be the result of certain disease, such as cancer of spiral cord, sciatica, arthritis, kidney- infections, infections of the spine and stressful life. 

The remedy

While it is recommended to get your back checked if you have persistent pain,  to rule out the possibility of diseases, yoga is “naturopathy” – a natural remedy for the pain in general, and may even prevent further pain in the future if done right and practiced regularly.
