i chiropractor would most likely be better. i always go there, like i did something to my back doing butterfly. had lower back pain, went to the chiro and its all better.(with a day of not swimming)
Physical therapy may help (depending on what the cause for your pain is). It may not feel excellent in the beginning, but it can be beneficial. If you don’t want to go to an actual therapist or can’t afford one..you can do the exercises/stretches at home. You can look up online several back stretches that will at the least loosen up your muscles. The following website has a few stretches described..but I’m sure there are many more.http://physicaltherapy.about.com/od/flex…
depends on the type of pain and what caused it. Here are some of the things we do at the nursing facility I work at though:
To start, heating pads work wonders on sore muscles and in general aching backs. Especially the ones you can just wrap on your back and go- they relieve a lot of pain. If it’s caused by nerve hurt or something of the sort though, just go straight for the pain meds. You could also keep a log and see when the pain is the worst- is it specifically at the same time or after the same activity each day? Say sleeping? Invest in something better for yourself that would help alleviate whatever that thing is.
Overall though, just be excellent to yourself and treat yourself every once in a while. Keeping pleased will make the largest difference.
