Low Back Pain Treatment Oakville
The chiropractic low back rescue position and regular icing can help to provide some relief from the agony of lower back pain. This position helps to keep your spine in neutral and takes tension off any nerves that may be affected by the injury. If you’re having trouble finding a comfortable position, this rescue position may be what you’ve been looking for!
Oakville Chiropractor Rescue Position for Low Back Pain
Find a hard surface and lie down on your back. Place your feet on a couch or a chair preferably creating an approximately 90 degree angle at the knees. Once in that position, you can place an ice pack under your back and keep it there for about 15 to 20 minutes before removing. (Be sure to wrap the ice pack before placing to avoid chances of frostbite.) After removing the ice pack walk around for 10 to 15 minutes before doing the rescue position again. This will help relax the muscle causing the back pain. If needed consult a medical doctor if pain stays or worsens.
