5 Ways to Help Acute Back Pain
- Don’t Panic – First and foremost, becoming stressed at the thought of back pain will only bring more tension and pain to your body. Try to relax and seek expert help and assistance at the earliest sign possible.

- Anti-Inflammatory Products – There are many soothing ointments and gels that can aid pain relief. Using these in moderation can act as a quick fix solution to help improve mobility.
- Know Your Limits – It is important that as an individual you are able to tell yourself when to stop. Over-working your body can set-back your recovery.
