Blew back - how to treat? Recommendations

Blow your back! How to treat? This question is asked by many people of all ages and professions. And this is not surprising, because it's very easy to catch a cold: just sweat, sweat, go into a room with air conditioners, sit in a draft or bathe in cold water - in short, overcool.

How to understand what the back muscle has blown? Usually there are symptoms:

• Sharp or aching pain in the back, it can be episodic or permanent;
• Severe back pain with flexion-extension, sometimes a person can hardly straighten up.

If you still have a backbone, how to treat this ailment? Here are some recommendations.

1. The back muscle needs to be "warmed up". Now in pharmacies are sold many types of warming ointments, both expensive and cheap - funds "Fenalgon", "Capsicum", "Atrevin", "Atrocin." If the neck and back have blown , they will warm up the muscles and relieve spasms in these areas, which will alleviate the pain. However, this method will help only with a small scale of the problem. If a serious inflammation begins, the ointment will not help - the depth of its penetration is very small.

Therapeutic external agents can be based on red pepper, bee and snake venom, as well as on the basis of artificial chemicals. If the ointment applied to the problem area begins to burn the skin, put a layer of Vaseline on top of it - this will ease the unpleasant sensations.

To enhance the effect of the ointment, ultrasound is usually applied or the area of the skin is massaged before using the preparation. Modern warming agents for external use are also available in the form of a gel - it penetrates deeper than the ointment.

Another way to warm up - rubbing camphor alcohol or liquid drug "Menovazin" (they are very cheap - 10-20 rubles, but very effective). After rubbing it is necessary to wrap your back with something warm and lie down.

2. Wear a warming belt - it can be made from canine or camel wool, or simply woolen.

3. Dress accordingly to the weather - do not wear shortened jackets and jeans with a low waistline.

If warming ointments did not help, and the pain remains strong - consult a doctor. Usually in this case, injections of painkillers are prescribed, for example, "Movalis".

If the back blew, how to treat? In addition to all of the above, with severe pain and lack of opportunity to visit a doctor, you can drink anesthetic or antispasmodic - tablets Pentalgin, Analgin, No-shpa, Ketorol and others. Do not take hot baths - this will increase inflammation and may increase pain.

It is desirable to comply with bed rest for at least 1-2 days, instead of warming up the ointment, you can do "dry" heaters. Do not eat salt and do not drink a lot of liquid - this will worsen the situation.

In addition to the already mentioned drug treatment, the doctor can prescribe you a therapeutic massage and physiotherapy.

Remember that the inflammation of the back muscles , called in myositis medicine, can be not only from hypothermia. When myositis in the muscles appear small nodules. The cause of back pain can be, for example, infectious diseases, physical activity, parasites and much more. Therefore, if you are not sure that the reason for your suffering is that it bled your back, how to treat it, only the doctor will say after the examination.

Take care of your health!
