What to do for lumbago

Keep warm, protect, move gently!

Cool temperatures and a wrong move: During the cold season, many people experience sudden tension in their back muscles. Sharp pain in the lower back can make those affected almost immobile. Simple and effective – keep your back warm! Kidney warmers made of natural fibers like alpaca or angora wool are unsurpassed. The natural hollow fibers retain body heat at the point of pain and ensure good blood circulation.

Causes of back pain

Often, weak back muscles or inelastic ligaments are the cause of back pain. A possible reason: too little exercise. Today, we sit for an average of almost twelve hours a day. Short breaks for movement can help. Because it's primarily a lack of exercise that causes problems for the back – not sitting itself.

Acute lumbago: What to do?

The magic word for back pain season is: keep warm and move gently ! Applying heat with kidney warmers or a hot water bottle to your back can improve circulation, relax muscles, and relieve lower back pain. Synthetic fibers are not suitable for retaining heat. Natural hollow fibers, on the other hand, are true heat-retaining wonders : they act like insulating pads and trap warm air directly at the point of pain. To keep your back muscles pain-free, there are fluffy, soft kidney and back warmers made of alpaca or angora wool.
Keeping warm combined with light exercise is beneficial. Whether walking, gymnastics, or yoga – being active is simple and effective. Targeted back exercises that stretch, loosen, and strengthen tense muscles are also soothing.

Prevention: Preventing lumbago

A sudden back spasm is a warning sign. Anyone who has already experienced sudden back pain should subsequently adopt a more back-friendly lifestyle . Specific back exercises combined with core strength training are essential. Equally important is making your workday back-friendly. This includes using an ergonomic office chair, a height-adjustable desk, and taking gentle movement breaks.
