Ice for Back Pain Relief

In a world of sophisticated medical care, a simple ice massage can still be one of the more effective, proven methods to treat a sore lower back or neck. It is effective when used either alone or in combination with other Chiropractic or Acupuncture.

For patients experiencing back pain, ice therapy is quick, free, easy to do, and it can provide significant relief for many types of back pain, and is especially effective for a sore back caused by lower back muscle strain.

In thicker of the body IE: low back 20 minutes 3-4 times daily is a good beginning. for areas such as the neck and exrtemitys 10 to 15 minutes is ADEQUATE. I personaly use a clay filled Ice pck found here: http://tinyurl.com/m2uh6m9 Amazon. there is one Caveat if you do not have the "prime account" SHIPPING WILL BE ABOUT AS MUCH AS THE ice pack, so if you need to get a few let me know and I can get it with free shipping! Each new patient is given a very detailed "anti inflammatory protocol, this takes about 15 minutes to go over, but it is also on my website.
