How Can Pain In The Lower Back Be Treated?
my niece popped her lower back at gymnastics within the last 30 minutes. She was told to put a heating pad on it, I thought it was always RICE, Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation.... but obviously, not necessarily elevation. What is the best way to go Initially, she has a low pain tolerance, but is crying because it hurts her to move, but she is mobile?

Physiotherapy will help , but the key here is patience ,because it will take some time to reduce the pain. mobility is very important, after 48hours of rest.
