My Son Has Had A Bad Back For Naerly 2weeks
Question: my son has had a bad back for naerly 2weeks with being using voltraol and its abit better is there anythink else we can do
Brief Answer:
Hot compresses would help
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.
If the Voltraol is helping, let him continue the same. Its a topical gel and has no systemic side effects on using for long.
He can also, apply hot compresses on the back before the application of the Voltraol. The heat dilates the blood vessels and improve the blood supply to the muscles in the back. This will result in better response to the gel and also removal of basic pathology causing the pain.
Hope, I answered your query.
Wish you good health.
