Back Pain ExercisesAppropriate exercises are essential for preventing and treating back pain. The best defense against developing back pain is to have strong supporting muscles. Strengthening the abdominal muscles, leg muscles, and back muscles is critical to preventing back pain. Exercises should include aerobic conditioning, which enhances circulation to the muscle tissue that supports the spine.  Exercising the back following an injury or strain should be done according to the instructions of your healthcare provider. Quite often, the fitness routine will include both stretching and strengthening exercises. An example of a stretch is the knee to chest routine, in which you lie on your back, put your hands behind the thigh, and pull it gently to your chest. Hold this position for about 30 seconds, and then repeat with the other leg. Another excellent stretch for back pain is the pelvic tilt. For this exercise, lie on a firm surface with your feet flat and knees slightly bent. Begin by pushing the small of your back into the floor by using your abdominal muscles. Contract your abdomen by pulling the lower abdominal muscles up and in. Keep your back flat for about five seconds, and then release. Repeat the procedure as determined by your therapist or healthcare provider. It's important to breathe through the stretch--don't hold your breath.  Other back pain exercises include pelvic lifts, hip rolling, leg stretches, curl ups, hip extensions, and many more. If your back pain is not resolved or it becomes worse, notify your physician. Further diagnostics may be required. Back Pain TreatmentsIf you have back pain, resting it is recommended. Avoid activities that cause pain or may have caused the injury and begin cold compression treatments as soon as possible. There are healing tools that can help treat your back pain and speed up the healing process so you can reduce your pain and get back to daily life. Blood Flow Stimulation Therapy™ (BFST®) will promote blood flow to heal your injury faster and more completely than any other methods available. Freezie Wrap® Cold Compression TherapyTo decrease inflammation of your muscle pull or other back injury doctor's recommend cold compression therapy. For an acute muscle strain, cold compression therapy within the first 48 - 72 hours and after any re-injury is important to limit the amount of damage done to your tissue. Cold compression therapy will relieve pain and swelling as needed and will reduce, or even eliminate, the need for NSAIDs and pain medications.  The Back/Hip Freezie Wrap® is the cold compression tool you need to treat your back pain in an effective and convenient way. It is so versatile it can be worn anywhere over your chest, back, or hip for treatment where you need it. Cold Compression Therapy works by interrupting and slowing nerve and cell function in the injured area and reducing swelling that can block blood vessels. This is important because once blood vessels are blocked or damaged, they can no longer carry oxygenated blood through your soft tissue and cells begin to break-down. Without cold compression therapy cellular break-down and tissue damage continues as the cells do not get the oxygen they need to survive. By limiting the amount of damage done to your tissue, you also limit the amount of healing that needs to occur. This is a very important step to get rid of your back pain faster!  The deep cooling effect provided by the Freezie Wrap® slows cell metabolism thereby reducing cellular break-down and tissue damage. Furthermore, because the cold wraps gently numb the nerves, the wraps also reduce pain! The Freezie Wrap® uses a supercharged cooling gel pack, that chills in the fridge, not in the freezer like ice or other freezer packs, giving you deep cold therapy without the risk of 'cold burns' or cryoburn.

Using Blood Flow Stimulation Therapy™ will speed your recovery and heal your muscle fibers and other soft tissue more completely. Talk to your doctor or physical therapist to find out which exercises are appropriate for your situation. Inferno Wrap® Blood Flow Stimulation Therapy™After severe inflammation and swelling is reduced you can begin to treat your back with Blood Flow Stimulation Therapy™ (BFST®). BFST® increases the amount of blood that flows naturally to your tendon and muscle fibers to nourish your soft tissue which speeds healing.  When you rest your back and stop moving around because it hurts, the natural blood flow is reduced, limiting your body's ability to heal itself. By treating your back with BFST® you can increase your body's blood supply to the muscle fibers and soft tissue and increase your body's natural healing power. The Inferno Wrap® is the tool you need to treat your sore back because not only does it speeds healing, it relaxes all you back muscles. With BFST®, tissues are safely and gently stimulated. Your body responds with a rapid increase in blood flow to the area, increasing the supply of oxygen and nutrients to injured tissue cells to promote healing and loosen the tissue. Our Back/Hip Inferno Wrap® provides effective, non-invasive, non-addictive pain relief and healing with no side effects. In addition, the improved blood flow whisks away dead cells and toxins that have built up from the damaged tissue caused by your back injury, further reducing tightness and pain. When you stop moving your back due to pain, your muscles and other tissue can become weaker and dead cells and toxins in the area can cause further tissue deterioration - this can lead to atrophy (muscle weakness and/or deterioration). By clearing the area of toxins and increasing the amount of oxygen and nutrients to your tissue, the risk of atrophy is greatly reduced. Keeping your muscle tissue as healthy as possible throughout the healing process will allow you to improve muscle strength again once your pain has gone and your back has healed.

With these easy-to-use, home therapies, cold compression and BFST®, you will notice significantly reduced pain and an incredible improvement in your back pain. During your recovery, you may have to modify and/or eliminate any activities that cause pain or discomfort in your back until your pain and inflammation settle. The more diligent you are with your treatment and rehabilitation, the faster you will see successful results!
