How to Take Care of Back Pain at Home! - Pain Free Physiotherapy Clinic

A common myth about back pain is that patient with needs to rest and avoid activity for a long time. In fact, complete bed rest is not recommended, rather an active rest is needed. If there are no signs of a serious cause for back pain (such as loss of bowel or bladder control, weakness, weight loss, or fever), stay as active as possible.

Here are some tips for how to handle back pain and activity:

  • Stop normal physical activity for only the first few days. This helps calm the symptoms and reduce swelling (inflammation) in the area of the pain.
  • Apply heat or ice to the painful area. Use ice for the first 48 to 72 hours, and then depending on pain level hot or cold therapy can be decided.
  • You may also use Turmeric for Back Pain.
  • NSAIDscan be taken during the initial inflammatory phase by the recommendation of a physician
  • One can sleep in a curled-up, fetal position with a pillow between the legs. While sleeping on the back pillow can be placed underneath the knees.
  • Activities involving heavy lifting or twisting of the back for the first 6 weeks after the pain should be avoided.
  • Exercises during the painful days should be avoided. After 2 to 3 weeks, as pain goes, exercises can be resumed again.
