What Can I Do to Relieve Lower Back Pain in Between Treatments?
It is not uncommon for people who are seeking treatment for lower back pain to experience pain in
between scheduled treatments. If you suddenly experience pain in your lower back area in between
your scheduled appointments, you may find the following things helpful in temporarily relieving your
pain.
Heat Therapy
Many times, the pain you experience in your lower back is caused by inflammation of the muscles.
Applying a heating pad to the lower back area for approximately 20 minutes may relieve some of your
pain. The pain is relieved as the heat increases blood flow to the inflamed muscles. Increased blood flow
to the sore and painful muscles can sometimes help reduce inflammation.
Exercises
Increasing flexibility and range of motion of the lower back can often help relieve pain. The only way to
increase flexibility and range of motion is to perform specific exercises. Your chiropractor can show you
which lower back exercises that you can do in between treatments to help you not only increase your
flexibility and range of motion but also relieve any pain you may be experiencing.
Holistic Treatments
Many people are negatively impacted by frequent headaches, making it important to find natural and effective treatment options. Yoga, supplements, essential oils, and dietary modifications are all-natural, safe, and effective ways to reduce headache symptoms.
While traditional methods like medications are often necessary, there are many natural and effective ways to prevent and treat headaches if you’re looking for a more holistic approach. After a comprehensive examination, Neurolink Chiropractic believes in a multifaceted approach to headache treatment, which includes understanding your triggers.
We’ll work to understand your unique situation to help you find the root cause of your headaches.
