How to get rid of lower back pain?

[Anonymous]

I've been having pain in my back for some years now. It goes off and on. I'm 17, how do I make it stop flaring up? It hurts like crazy and I just don't know how to make it stop.

Go see a chiropractor. If they can't help go see a Chinese medicine guy specializing in Tuina.

If you have bad posture then work on that. If you sit on your ass all day then get outside and move. Even with proper sitting posture extra stress will be placed on your lumbar region.

My grandfather had chronic back pain. It always gets worse after he plays poker with friends. He decided to renovate his house over the summer and his pain disappeared.

Posture as @ATPPC mentioned.

What day-to-day activities are you doing?
-Are you lifting things by your back?
-Do you move things around by twisting by your waist?
-Are you using your legs or back for leverage?

Sports. Train your upper body to have more muscles. Your back and your front (only the back will put a different kind of strain).

Additionally work on your posture.
