Our health is one of the many things we take for granted. This is why whenever we experience back pains, out instinctive reaction is to take a painkiller. This aggravates the problem even more as the backache comes back with a bang. So the next time you have pain or have a fall or accident, just visit your physician and get a checkup done. It?s better to be safe than sorry.

Yoga Poses for Lower Back Pain
Spine Lengthening
You need to sit in a comfortable position. Try placing a mat on the floor and sit cross legged (you can also sit on your bed, if you like). Your back should be straight and yours shoulders should be relaxed. You need to smile while you practice this yoga pose. In case you would like to practice this pose in standing position, keep your feet parallel. While breathing in slowly raise your arms from both the sides. Interlink your fingers together, with your thumbs touching each other gently.
Now bring your arms from the front to the top. Stretch them up as much as you can. Do not strain your muscles. Make sure that your elbows are straight and that your biceps touch your ears. Hold onto to this position for 20 seconds (preferably 3 to 4 long deep breaths). To experience a deeper back stretch you can pull your tummy in, close to the spine.
Spine Stretch
This stretch can be followed after the spine lengthening stretch. Continue with interlinked fingers. Your arms should be stretched straight on top of your head. Breathe out slowly and twist your body to the right side gently. This will lay pressure on the hips as well. Hold onto to this position for 4 to 5 long breaths. Inhale while coming back to the center position. Exhale as you move to the left side, hold this position for 4 to 5 long breaths and inhale while returning to the center position. To experience a deeper stretch, tuck your tummy in as much as possible.
Stretching the Spine Forward and Backward
By interlinking your fingers, breathe out and stretch your hands to the front. Exhale while you turn to the right. Make sure both your hands are parallel to each other and that they are stretched equally. Try to correct your position to avoid muscle catches. Inhale while you return to the center. Exhale while turning to the right. Come back to the center as you inhale. Unlock the fingers and relax. Place your hands on the ground and push your chest up.
Twist the spine
This stretch offers a soothing massage to the lower back. Place your left hand on your right knee. Take a deep breath and slowly twist your body to your right side. You can also place your right hand on the floor near your right hip. Stretch upward by pressing your hand against the floor. Try to keep your back as straight as possible. Inhale and come back to your center position. Repeat the same stretch on the left side. Suck your tummy in for a deeper stretch.
Fists Forward Bend
You can now come back into standing position. Your feet should be hip-width apart. Bend your knees slightly and bend yourself over your legs. Bend as much as you can till your tummy touches your thighs. Make your hands into fists and place them on the opposite creases of the elbow. Relax all your body muscles and hold your fists tight. Take 10 deep breaths in this position. You will release more tension from the back with every breath. Breathing exercises are extremely helpful in melting belly fat.
Downward Dog
This pose will help in spinal traction and lower back health. Stand Lie down on the floor facing the ground and place your hands in front of you. Flatten your palms on the floor. Lift your hips off the ground by balancing yourself on your feet and hands. Lift your hips as much as you can, till you feel a soothing stretch in your back. Take 5 to10 breaths in this position.
