tommarker Posted August 19, 2003 Share Posted August 19, 2003 Heat before activity, ice afterwards. Stretch. Lots of stretching. Ab and lower back exercises to restrengthen your "core." And dont do anything stupid until it feels better. I'm no longer posting here. Adios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninjanurse Posted August 30, 2003 Share Posted August 30, 2003 In most instances, you should always ice an injury for the first 48 hours to reduce the swelling that occurs with acute injuries- including lower back strains. Heat will only increase the acute swelling and will make recovery longer. The general rule is rest and ice for 48 hours then heat as tolerated with gentle stretching of back muscles after. Back extensions are a good exercise to do once the acute injury and swelling are gone. If you do not get better after 3-5 you should see a physician or chiropractor.
