lower back pain : Manage Your Lower Back Pain
Approaches to managing lower back pain have changed dramatically in the last 10 years. Experts now recommend staying active and exercising.
Treatment of muscular lower back pain should aim to relieve soreness so you can continue your everyday activities. The convenient, portable and continuous heat therapy of ThermaCare HeatWraps can play an important role in helping you stay active. Today's approach to managing muscular lower back pain may include heat therapy with ThermaCare plus the following:
Use ThermaCare HeatWraps at an early stage of pain (and use them wherever you may be). Combined with exercise, this can help keep lower back pain under control.
Perform range-of-motion and strengthening exercises while pain symptoms are present.
After pain symptoms have improved (after 2 to 4 weeks), perform low-stress exercises like walking, swimming or cycling. Avoid heavy lifting, strenuous exercise and uncomfortable positions.
Add ThermaKinetic exercises for lower back pain to your routine. These breakthrough routines combine the benefits of motion and heat. A specially designated Advisory Board of professionals developed these non-aerobic, low impact exercises that are done while wearing a ThermaCare Lower Back HeatWrap.
Use medication as directed.
Maintain normal activity.
Consult your doctor.
