Lower Back Pain Relief from PainBack pain Relief with Flaxseed pillows and packs, microwave for instant back pain relief
Back pain is one of the most common physical complaints. It has been estimated that approximately 80% of people in Western countries have experienced low back pain from the lumbar region at some point in their lives. Most cases resolve within 2-4 weeks without any medical intervention. Physical Therapy is the most common treatment for lower back pain. It generally includes ice therapy to slow nerve conduction thereby decreasing inflammation and pain. Heat treatments may be used to accelerate soft tissue repair. Heat increases blood flow and speeds up the metabolic rate to assist healing. Heat also helps decrease muscle spasm, pain, and promotes a relaxed feeling. Sometimes a heat treatment is given prior to a session of therapeutic exercise. This may just be the answer. Speed the healing process and relieve the pain with our lumbar heat pack.
Moist Heat Therapy More Effective than Pain Relieving pills !NEWARK, N.J.--(BW HealthWire)--May 15, 2002--Low level heat wrap therapy is more effective than over-the-counter oral medications for relieving low back pain, according to the results of a nationwide study led by a sports medicine researcher at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. In a six-month study of 371 patients, (published in Spine. 2002;27:1012-7) participants were given the maximum recommended non-prescription dosages of ibuprofen and acetaminophen or low level wrap heat therapy for two days to treat acute low back pain. The results showed that the low level heat wrap therapy provided significantly more pain relief beginning on the first day of treatment than the oral analgesics and that the effects lasted more than 48 hours after the treatment was completed. Our herbal heat packs are perfectly suited to this type of therapy.
