By Jonas Varig


Back pain needs to be treated right away, but with all the treatment options available, how can you know which treatment is the most appropriate for your pain? Severe back pain can be treated with a prescription from your doctor, and there are over-the-counter medications that may help, as well. However, your health care provider may recommend that you undergo surgery. Fortunately, you can usually treat a majority of back pain in your home. There are, indeed, several methods you can use to heal quickly.

There are many ways, for example, to apply heat to the affected area. Heat is a great therapeutic choice for back pain. The simplest method is to use a heating pad or hot water bottle. When you apply one of these methods to the pain, the relief can be immediate. Be careful not to set the heating pad too high or use water that is extremely hot because you can burn your skin. You just want a gentle heat that will infuse into your sore muscles. If you use both heat and massage you will get double the benefit. Ask a friend or family member if they can gently massage the painful area. At the pharmacy you can find therapeutic creams and ointments that heat up the area and provide relief from your pain. These are an alternative to hot water bottles and heating pads. You might want to look for a massage therapist who uses these creams, heat, and even aromatherapy in the form of essential oils.
