Struck down by sudden, debilitating back pain? Fret not; here are some tips to help you get back on track quickly!
Back pain can strike out of nowhere, with seemingly innocuous activities such as bending. Some common injuries attributed to sudden back pain can include disc herniation, facet joint locking or sacroiliac joint sprain. Regardless of the type of back pain, here are some important protocols to set you up for a quick relieve and recovery.
1. Keep Active
The first protocol in dealing with sudden back pain is to keep as active as possible. Mobility can help with keeping the low back structure from seizing up and promoting fluid circulation to minimize swelling in the region.
2. Ice
Applying ice to the injured area can help with managing the inflammation as well as take the edge off the back pain. Icing is only effective in the first 48 hours. This can be follow up with heat.
3. Simple Painkillers
Foods with anti-inflammatory properties such as fish oil, turmeric or fatty fish are recommended. If needed, taking simple painkillers or anti-inflammatory medications such as panadol or ibuprofen can be considered. Strong painkillers such as opioid should be avoided in the beginning.
4. See A Therapist Quickly.
Time is of the essence when it comes to effectively managing your back pain. A great chiropractor or physiotherapist can help diagnose your specific problem and come up with a specific, tailored plan to help with getting you back on track quickly.
