Do You Experience Back Pain?

Here are some helpful hints:

Use ICE or a cold pack on the painful area when symptoms frist occur to manage inflamation. HEAT can be used for muscle spasms and stiffness after the first few days.
Practice good Body Mechanics: Avoid bending, twisting, and lifting.
Relative Rest/Activity Modification: Continue your normal activities as you are able to without pain.
Exercises to reduce low back pain are not complicated and can be done at home with a program designed by a physical therapist for your specific needs.
Consult with your physician or physical therapist if symptoms persist.
