What you should do for Lower Back Pain

None

Apply cold for Lower Back Pain

Suggest edit

If your lower back pain is due to a muscle injury or muscle strain this means that your muscles are inflamed. Hence, you will need to apply cold to reduce inflammation and decrease pain.

It is always important to properly identify the real cause of your lower back pain before applying hot or cold.

In case the pain is caused by a muscle stiffness, cramp, rigidity, or tension, applying ice will worsen your case because it will increase contractions. You may need to apply heat to relax the muscles and reduce pain.
