00:03 Back pain, and when you're hurting,

00:06 minutes can feel like hours.

00:07 So today, it's all about fast relief.

00:10 I'm revealing my 60 second back pain fixes.

00:13 Aileen's gonna start us off.

00:14 How does back pain affect your day?

00:16 - It slows me down.

00:17 I have three kids and in the morning it's tough.

00:19 I'm sore, low back pain.

00:21 It's just annoying, pretty much.

00:23 - All right, let's start our first 60 second time.

00:25 Count, now go ahead and move the second bar over there.

00:27 It is compre compress.

00:29 Now again, all these things work really, really fast,

00:31 which I'm talking about them.

00:32 Compre compresses are pretty cool.

00:34 It's an old treatment, but very effective.

00:36 - Never heard of it.

00:36 - You can, in the old days,

00:37 they used to get the bags and soak them,

00:39 and all this kind of stuff.

00:40 It's called a knit back.

00:41 I don't know how many have heard that,

00:42 but because of its healing and mending properties.

00:44 If that phrase ever catch your ear.

00:47 So it's not critical,

00:48 but come under the label compre ointment.

00:50 You put it on top of one of these cheesecloths,

00:53 and it'll decrease swelling and inflammation.

00:55 But what you gotta do is take this,

00:57 just feel it and describe it to everybody.

00:58 It's got a little stickiness to it.

01:00 - Oh yeah, it's a little sticky.

01:01 - You put that right over where it hurts.

01:03 That cheesecloth with the compre on it,

01:05 right over where it hurts.

01:06 Super simple to get in this ointment form right now.

01:08 - Where do you buy that?

01:09 - They said it's sit there.

01:10 They have at all food stores.

01:11 I'm seeing it in grocery stores now as well.

01:13 Of course, you can always get them online.

01:15 Super simple, super fast, which is why I like it.

01:17 You want another 60 second fix?

01:19 - Absolutely.

01:19 - Come over here.

01:20 - Okay.

01:21 - Now this is one for lower back pain.

01:22 Are you ready?

01:23 - I'm ready.

01:24 - Flip the clock.

01:25 And it is?

01:27 - Devil's claw.

01:28 - I've never heard of it.

01:28 - That sounds ominous, doesn't it?

01:29 - Yeah.

01:30 - Devil's claw, another treatment that's been time tested.

01:34 There's no need for prescription pills.

01:35 This works for you and it works for a ton of folks.

01:37 It's an anti-inflammatory.

01:38 Works similar to the way some medications work.

01:41 - Okay.

01:41 - And the nice thing about it is it works very specifically

01:43 on a joint that's causing a lot of the lower back pain

01:46 people suffer from.

01:47 - Okay.

01:47 - And that is over here.

01:49 Are you ready?

01:51 - I'm ready.

01:52 - This is called the sacroiliac joint.

01:54 - Okay.

01:55 - People have heard of this,

01:56 but they don't know what it really is.

01:56 So these are your hip bones.

01:58 - Yes.

01:59 - Right, the pelvis bones.

02:00 And then there's a joint between the spine in the middle

02:02 and those major bones.

02:04 - Okay.

02:04 - In order to make it the circle

02:05 that supports your whole body.

02:06 And there's ligaments there, it gets strained.

02:08 - Right.

02:09 - And you can see how important they are.

02:10 They're big and thick.

02:11 And when you get pain in there,

02:12 I mean, it's really uncomfortable

02:13 and it travels up northward into your lower back.

02:16 - Right.

02:17 - So the devil's claw helps soothe

02:19 some of the ligamental discomfort.

02:20 You want to take about 100 milligrams a day.

02:22 - Okay.

02:23 Is that like an herbal supplement?

02:24 - It is an herbal supplement, actually.

02:25 - Okay.

02:26 - So a lot of these things, you know,

02:27 people have had back pain for all known history.

02:29 - I'll try it.

02:29 - So they've tried things and a lot of things haven't worked,

02:32 but the ones that have worked,

02:33 they've stood the test of time

02:34 and they're the ones I want to talk about.

02:35 - And that you can get at a health food store, I guess, too.

02:37 - Yeah, all these things I'm talking about today,

02:38 very simple to get.

02:39 They're common uses, we just don't know about them.

02:41 We always go right to the prescription aisle

02:43 or ask our doctor for something.

02:44 - Right, right.

02:45 - And there's more subtle things

02:46 that could probably nudge you in the right direction.

02:47 - We should try that first.

02:48 - Right.

02:49 The next fix, it instantly releases your lower back

02:51 from discomfort.

02:52 Now, this actually comes down, before we reveal this,

02:54 to a major habit many of us have, which is we're sedentary.

02:57 So what kind of work do you do?

02:58 - I'm a nurse.

02:59 - You're a nurse, so you're walking around a lot.

03:01 - Yes.

03:01 - Are you sitting?

03:02 - Well, actually, no, I sit at a desk a lot.

03:03 - You do?

03:04 - Yeah, I work in an office,

03:05 and I'm at a computer for many hours a day.

03:07 So I do, it does bother my back a lot.

03:10 - For all the folks who sit a lot,

03:11 and this is for all of you, I'm talking to you now,

03:13 because the average American sits for about 56 hours a week.

03:17 Think about that, it's a lot of sitting.

03:18 It's a big problem, because when you sit,

03:20 you actually put more tension on your spine

03:22 than when you stand.

03:23 So think of your spine as these hockey pucks,

03:26 the bones, divided by these jelly donuts.

03:29 The donuts are the discs in between them.

03:31 So when you sit, you actually have less blood supply

03:33 to the spine, plus you're not making it flexible,

03:35 stimulating it, so it dries out.

03:37 So you suddenly do something that you shouldn't be doing.

03:40 Would you help me with this?

03:41 - Sure.

03:42 - Grab it.

03:43 You're a nurse, you're a professional,

03:44 and what ends up happening?

03:45 This stuff really inflames you.

03:46 I mean, it's super uncomfortable.

03:47 It's supposed to be a shock absorber, these discs,

03:49 but they don't work that well if you've been,

03:51 unfortunately, beating yourself up,

03:52 'cause you've been sitting all day long.

03:54 So the treatment for this, go ahead, show everybody.

03:57 It's a supine stretch.

04:00 Of all the things I'm gonna talk about,

04:01 this is the one I want you to remember.

04:03 - Okay.

04:03 - 'Cause this one's absolutely free,

04:04 you don't buy it anywhere,

04:05 you just gotta do it in your own home.

04:06 You have to get your spine to reengage.

04:08 You have to bring new blood supply to the spine,

04:10 and give it the flexibility it needs

04:11 to avoid that crunchiness, 'cause we're sitting so much.

04:14 So I'm gonna show you, Eileen,

04:15 but I want everyone at home, if you can,

04:17 to do it right now with this.

04:17 You can do this at work, by the way.

04:19 - Okay. - So lie on your back.

04:20 And all you have to do is relax your shoulders,

04:23 and then take your knees over to the left.

04:26 (groans)

04:26 And try to keep your shoulders down if you can.

04:29 - Okay. - It's such a simple exercise

04:30 that the physical therapist shows to me all the time.

04:32 - Yeah. - And if you really want to,

04:34 you can rest your left hand on your right knee,

04:36 and just sort of push a little more.

04:38 But just relax your lower back.

04:39 Do you feel it?

04:40 - It feels good.

04:41 - Fantastic, right?

04:42 - Yeah. - And after about

04:43 20, 30 seconds of this,

04:45 'cause you only have 60 seconds for the fix,

04:47 - Okay. - come to the other side.

04:48 Finish up your 50 seconds over here,

04:50 and you're good to go.

04:51 And there is no excuse for not doing this at work

04:53 if you can just find a table anywhere.

04:56 Frankly, find a rug, a corner, whatever it takes.

04:58 - Yeah, definitely.

04:59 - But reduce that 56 hours by one minute

05:01 just by doing that.

05:02 - All right.
