Rehabilitation exercises following back surgery for severe back problems are important. These include surgeries like discectomy, spinal fusion or microdiscectomy. These exercises help to emphasise good posture and improve back care. Ensure you follow advice from your medical professional following surgery or an injury.
Treating Back Pain at Home
As well as physical therapy treatment for the pain, supports and braces for the back are important. Supports and braces for the neck can also be very effective. And a back stretcher is a must for people who have to sit for prolonged periods. This is a portable device that places the back into a position of extension and helps to prevent and treat back pain.
Pain-relieving gels and sprays that contain ibuprofen can also help. These contain a pain-killing substance that's also an anti-inflammatory. Massage oils and muscle rub can also soothe tension and pain that's due to back muscle spasms.
Prevent back pain by using a posture corrector or office chair support. These should be used when working at a desk or sitting for extended periods. Back supports for chairs support the spine. They also help to relieve pressure and promote better posture. A memory foam pillow can also help reduce and prevent back pain. Our range of pillows for back pain help you stay in a good position when sleeping. By relieving pressure from your back, they can help you to get some rest.
For Physical Therapy and Exercise
Many of our back supports and braces can be used to deal with muscle pain during and post-exercise. They can be worn during physical therapy and for short- and long-term pain. Or, use them simply to aid with daily activities and body functions.
