A CASE OF ACUTE BACK PAIN RELIVED WITH HOMOEOPATHY.
MUSCLE SPASM in your back can range from a minor discomfort and stiffness to a sharp, severe pain and muscle tightening that prevents normal back movements. Your back might be telling you to avoid a certain activity, or it could be warning of a more serious underlying issue in your spine.
CAUSES OF MUSCLE SPASM
▪️Sitting in one position for long time.
▪️ Sudden Jerk
FIRST AID for a painful back muscle spasm
➡️SHORT PERIOD OF REST
For example, stay home for the day and take it easy. Just remember to move as tolerated, such as by going for short walks. Prolonged inactivity can stiffen your muscles and lead to more pain. In general, walking is gentle on your back and promotes blood flow, which in turn helps speed the healing process. However, in some cases uneven ground or walking down or uphill can exacerbate an underlying reason for the muscle spasms.
➡️COLD THERAPY
As a general guideline, cold therapy will help reduce local inflammation, which in turn contributes to relieving pain.Cold therapy can be applied for 15 or 20 minutes, then give the skin a rest for a couple hours before the next application
➡️HEAT THERAPY
Applying a heat pack or heating pad to the affected area can bring increased blood flow and soothing pain relief. As with cold therapy, limit applications of heat therapy to 15 or 20 minutes at a time.
➡️ COMFORTABLE INCLINED POSITION
When you rest, you can reduce stress on your lower back by laying on your back in bed with your upper body supported at a slight incline and a pillow propped under your knees.
