Having Back Pain. Will It Be Safe To Get Hot Stone Massage Before A Spinal Tap?
Thanks for posting your query.
The pain in the back that you are having is commonly seen due to positional anomaly causing a muscle pain. Getting a hot stone massage is not recommended before a spinal tap. The following measures will help you with the pain:-
Have a Warm shower.
Sleep on an electric heating pad under the area that is bothering you.
Stretch you muscles really well to keep them loose.
To keep your muscles warm during the day, there are many topical creams and
lotions.
Take diet XXXXXXX in calcium, vitamin D and minerals.
You can wait for the massage until after the tap.
