Suggest Remedy To Prevent Stiffening Of Back After A Fall?
I slipped and fell on the ice a couple of weeks ago, and hit my upper back on a curb? It's still sore, but was gradually getting better. I started stretching more yesterday, and am trying to have better posture, but my back is stiffening up a little and I'm feeling a slight burning inside. What should I do?
dear friend in your case physiotherapy and exercise will help you a lot. presently if you have severe pain then take muscle relaxant medicine like combination of aceclofenac+paracetamol+chlorzoxazon and consult physiotherapist. -exercise for back pain- raise your leg sraight from hip joint without bending from knee after sleeping on back and then put down slowly. same exercise for another leg and then raise both leg simultaneously. sleep on abdomen and raise your head and chest backward.do all these exercise 40-50 times per day by increasing slowly everyday.this will help you in both back pain and low backache.
hope this answer will be helpful to you. for more queries plz don't hassitate to ask.
