At Active Integrative Medicine, we have extensive experience in providing chiropractic care, massage therapy, and other treatments designed to help relieve pain and discomfort. One of the most common complaints we can help with is back pain. Anyone can develop a sore back, regardless of their age, activity level, or profession, and our care providers can help you find the relief you deserve.
Here are three key ways you can help ease your sore back:
- Use Ice and Heat – One thing you can do to ease a sore back is apply ice and heat. Cooling your sore muscles down and heating them up will both help to loosen the tension and relieve the pain you are experiencing. You can use a variety of methods to apply heat and cold, such as electric heating pads and physical ice packs, as well as medicated wraps that use chemical reactions to create temperature changes.
- Consider Medication – Another way to find relief from a sore back is to take pain medication. Over the counter medication can often provide relief for moderate back pain, and your doctor can prescribe stronger medication to alleviate more prolonged or severe pain if necessary.
- See a Chiropractor – A third option for back pain relief is chiropractic care, which can be used in addition to medication, heat packs, and other remedies. Our team has extensive experience in chiropractic treatment, and we can help release tension and alleviate any pain you may be experiencing in your back.
