1 / 2
)
Ice and heat
You can treat back pain with ice immediately after an injury and for the following 48 hours to prevent swelling. Apply ice packs for 15 minutes on, 15 minutes off, as often as every hour. The third day, use moist heat - a heating pad or hot-water bottle to relax muscles around the injury. Again: 15 minutes on, 15 minutes off.
Cryotherapy
Modality: cryotherapy (cold treatment), is used to minimize pain. This modality can be applied in the form of cold packs or ice massage to the low back.
