Alleviate everyday
aches and pains
Dawson
SENIOR

Pain occurs for a
variety of reasons. Pain
may be a byproduct of
overuse of a particular
part of the body, or
it could signal an
underlying illness or
condition. Sometimes
injury is at the heart of
aches and pains.
Daily aches and pains
may be seen as a normal
byproduct of aging,
but that does not mean
aging individuals should
simply accept pain. In
fact, daily discomfort
can be remedied with
some relatively easy
techniques.
• Get moving. Lower
back pain is common
among adults, and
most often appears
when individuals are
in their mid-30s and
40s. Strength training
and cardio exercises
can remedy this
pain because these
activities increase
blood flow and help
build core muscles,
which support the
spine. Support can
alleviate pressure on
the discs in the back.
Exercising also will
build strength in other
areas of the body and
support joints.
• Practice good
posture. Sitting and
standing with optimal
posture can help the
body feel better. The
body is designed to
stand in a 'neutral'
position that stacks
the pelvis, head and
torso, according to
DMC Healthcare.
When posture is
out of whack, this
puts undue stress
on muscles, leading
to pain. Dropping
your head or
shoulders also can
create unnecessary
tension that leads
to headaches. Good
posture can alleviate
this.
• Exercise more
often. Certain pains
arise when exercising
for the first time or
performing a new
activity. Allan H.
Goldfarb, Ph.D., a
professor and exercise
physiologist at the
University of North
Carolina, Greensboro,
says when you do
the same activity
again and again,
your muscles will
start to get used to
it and soreness will
be reduced. Don't
give up on exercise
too soon, but include
off days in your
routine to give your
body time to become
more acclimated to
increased physical
activity.
• Get tested. Speak
with your doctor if
you have chronic pain
in one or more areas.
Such pain may be a
sign of osteoarthritis,
an inflammatory
condition that is
associated with
aging. Rheumatoid
arthritis and other
autoimmune
conditions can cause
aches and pains as
well, leaving the
joints and tendons
inflamed and a body
with low energy. A
doctor can rule out
these conditions
or help you get
the therapy and
medications you
need.
• Increase
stretching and
movement
exercises.
Incorporate stretching
and movement
exercises like yoga
or tai chi into your
daily regimen. These
activities slowly
stretch areas of the
body and can improve
range of motion and
flexibility over time.
These are just a few
ways to address common
aches and pains. Medical
interventions, physical
therapy, occupational
therapy and ergonomics
assessments, and
massage therapy also
may help to alleviate
aches and pains.
