Pulled Back Muscle Treatments

A pulled back muscle can happen when it's least expected, such as by bending the wrong way, falling, or lifting something that's too heavy. A perfect example is when an individual uses the wrong body mechanics to shovel snow--especially when he has not been exercising and strengthening his muscles to give adequate body support. The lower back is more often affected than any other part of the back since it bears most of the weight and motion of the body.

Treatment options vary considerably for pulled back muscles, depending on the location and extent of injury. The pain is generally intense from the onset and requires some type of pain reliever or anti-inflammatory medication for pain control. In most cases, bed rest isn't recommended. It is, however, often necessary to stop or reduce normal physical activity for a few days to give the muscles time to calm down and respond to treatment.

Ultrasound therapies such as our therapeutic ultrasound device can be greatly enhanced the recovery process from a pulled back muscle. Ultrasound will heat the muscle, encouraging blood flow to the area. This internal heating is different from using a heating pad. The heating pad often becomes intolerable because of excessive surface heat. Therapeutic ultrasound can be tolerated since the heat goes deep into the muscle--where it's needed most--rather than on the surface.

Chronic pain often results following a pulled back muscle. Once a muscle has been weakened through injury, it's more susceptible to re-injury.

BFST™ - Using Your Body's Natural Healing System

Your body can heal itself! In fact, your body starts healing itself the moment you are injured and it's the blood in your body that makes it all happen. Your blood is the transport mechanism for everything that is good inside you. It carries oxygen, nutrients, water and antibodies. Proper blood flow is essential to healing. Unfortunately, when you injure your body you stop moving and the swelling sets in. That means your vital blood flow can be reduced to a trickle! If you want to heal quickly, you need to keep your blood moving and that's where Blood Flow Stimulation Therapy™, or BFST™, comes in.

Blood Flow Stimulation Therapy™ promotes the flow of blood through the injured area without the need to exercise your already damaged tissue. You can really feel it work. Within moments of applying an Inferno Wrap™ you can feel the healing sensation and the increase in blood flow. During a treatment, and for quite some time after you finish, your injured area will experience increased blood flow even though your body is at rest. It's a soothing sensation and extremely effective. With BFST™ your injury is constantly being fed with healing, nutritious, oxygen and energy filled blood. This is exactly what your body needs to heal.

Inferno Wraps™ have been specifically designed for the treatment of deep, soft tissue injury. Inferno Wraps contain a patented Energy Web™ which is flexible and shaped to conform to your body. This Energy Web™ emits a uniform wave of perfectly safe electro-magnetic energy over its entire surface. This energy travels deep inside your body and stimulates the blood flow needed to heal your injury.

Our Cold Compression Wraps are recommended bcountless medical professionals. That's why we sell them, because they are the best. We have noticed over time that our customers are so fond of our cold wraps that they are frequently coming back and ordering a second one. The wraps are becoming very popular with baseball and soccer trainers, and the wraps can be conveniently stored in a cooler for quick application on the field when needed.

If you suffer from mild inflammation or pain after certain activities or movements use ultrasound therapy when you complete the activity and then rest and elevate your area of injury. Limit the application of ultrasound to a couple of treatments per day (the manual will recommend treatment frequency depending upon the injury). In between ultrasound treatments, maximize your pain relief and injury recovery by using an Inferno™ Personal Therapy System. Proven Performance, Proven Relief - only found at MendMeShop.com. If you have been given a treatment plan by your health professional, make sure you adhere to it to ensure pain free living. In general, people who are committed to their therapies and exercises will have the best medical outcomes.
