The 3 Step Cure for Acute Lower Back Pain

With any acute back pain, you are able to ease your pain quickly with some simple advice and easy to use tips and techniques.

Step One: In the initial 48 hours after acute low back pain occurs, use ice. Ice will reduce inflammation and reduce pain. In that time pain should ease considerably or it may even disappear - especially if this is the first time you have experienced back pain.

If this is a recurring problem, you need to not just remove the acute episode; you need to correct all your back pain issues - tight and weak muscles, joint movement and pelvic balance.

How to use the Ice - place ice on the area for ten minutes only, remove and rest for ten minutes. Reapply the ice for a further ten minutes, rest and repeat one more time. You therefore have three episodes of ten minute ice sessions. Do this for the first 48 hours a few times a day.

If pain is not easing even a little after the first day, or you fit into the warning categories, seek help.

Step Two: Go for a gentle walk. A stroll around your house or garden is okay. Gentle walking helps to relax the muscles and joints. Only walk if it helps the pain, if pain is worse then rest. Continue to walk each day for only 5-10 minutes, do not push yourself.

Step Three: After the first 48 hours, use heat and ice. Ice helps with inflammation, heat helps with blood supply. Increasing the blood supply to the area helps the muscles and joints to heal. Apply heat on the area for 10 minutes, followed by 10 minutes of ice. Repeat two more times except finish with heat - heat-ice-heat-ice-heat.

The exception is when there is still inflammation, if the area is still tender to touch, there is likely inflammation present. If so, then finish with ice rather than heat.

Acute low back pain can be a serious problem. Most times it isn't. If you are concerned, if pain is not easing, if you fit into any of the warning categories - seek immediate help from a professional.
