Home Care For Low Back Pain
Millions of Americans suffer from acute low back pain every
year. It is one of the most common reasons people see their
doctors every year. Although it is important to get checked
out by your doctor to rule out any pathology there are many
things you can do at home to help speed up the treatment
prescribed by your doctor.
If the injury is a musculoskeletal (injury to the
muscles, tendons, ligaments, vertebral discs, etc.) then
the use of ice on the injured area is essential in reducing
the local inflammation. The sooner the ice is applied, the
sooner the inflammation is reduced and the quicker your
recovery will be from the injury.
Prepare the bag of ice by putting ice cubes in a freezer
bag. Fill the bag with water, remove the excess air out of
the bag and close it. To remove pressure off of the area of
injury, lay with your knees and hips at a 90 degree angle
(knees in the air) and put the bag of ice directly on the
injured area. Do not remove the bag of ice until the area
is numb.
The ice pack can be applied every two hours to keep the
local inflammation at a minimum to maximize the healing.
Minimize the movement involving your lower back while you
are recovering from your injury to prevent a relapse. Rest
is important.
Nutritional supplements such as fish oil will reduce the
inflammation and Vitamin C with bioflavanoids will help
repair the tendons and ligaments. Drink plenty of water to
help flush out the toxins in the area of injury. If you get
actively involved in your treatment your recovery will not
only be much quicker but you will have a much better chance
of preventing any future injuries.

What a wonderful post. I spend days on the internet reading blogs, about tons of different subjects. I have to first of all give kudos to whoever created your website and second of all to you for writing what i can only describe as an amazing post.
