Lower back pain treatments vary from immediate intervention to simply managing chronic pain. Immediately following an injury, it may be advisable to apply ice packs for the first two to three days to reduce swelling. Anytime there is swelling around the spinal column nerves, there's going to be pain. The pain may even radiate down the legs, making movement even more difficult.

After the initial ice pack treatment, relief may be obtained using heat instead. The heat will increase the blood flow which, in turn, supplies more oxygen to the damaged or irritated muscle tissue. One disadvantage of applying heat packs is discomfort to the surface of the skin. With MendMeShop Therapeutic Ultrasound Therapy, you can enjoy soothing heat deep in the muscle without burning the skin surface.

If your lower back pain is a result of osteoporosis or another degenerative disc disease, it's important to treat the cause (calcium deficit, etc.) as well as control the pain. Weight loss, proper nutrition, and an approved exercise program are all essential to reducing the discomfort of lower back pain. When used in conjunction with appropriate lifestyle changes, our personal ultrasound therapy device can be one of the most effective lower back pain treatments currently available.

The cost of our personal ultrasound therapy system makes it possible for use as part of your daily routine. The deep penetrating sound waves are effective in working out the soreness and tightness of stressed muscles.

A Black Body Radiant Energy Kit is one of the most helpful tools for a wide varity of painful back related problems. Through the absorption of radiant energy, tissues are safely and gently heated - increasing blood flow within the treated area. Your body’s natural response to this increased temperature is to try to maintain a condition of homeostasis — a balanced environment or state of equilibrium throughout the body. To do this, your body responds with a rapid increase in blood flow to the area (this is known as vasodilation), increasing the supply of nutrients to injured cells and flushing out toxins (including lactic acid, commonly found in trigger points) to promote healing. Our Thermotex Platinum Pain Relief Device provides effective, non-invasive, non-addictive pain relief with no side effects.

If you suffer from pain after certain activities or movements use ultrasound therapy when you complete the activity and then rest. Limit the application of ultrasound to a couple of treatments per day (the manual will recommend treatment frequency depending upon the injury).

If you have been given a treatment plan by your health professional, make sure you adhere to it to ensure pain free living.
