Upper & Lower Back Strains

Back sprains are often the beginning of a long battle with back pain. Symptoms such as diffuse muscle aches, fatigue, back or neck pain, sleep disturbance, and muscle tender points often follow back sprains. It's important to see your healthcare provider for a diagnosis if what you thought was a minor muscle sprain continues for more than a couple of weeks.

The diagnosis of stress-related back pain or sprain is based on a complete history and physical by a healthcare provider. It's important to rule out maladies such as kidney disease, spinal tumors, or infection that can manifest themselves much like a back sprain. If you're indeed diagnosed with back sprain, your treatment will most likely be overseen by some type of therapist or a chiropractor.

In addition to learning proper sitting, bending, and lifting techniques, you'll most likely receive the latest in muscle treatment: ultrasound therapy. Ultrasound has been found to reach deep into the muscle tissue through the use of sound waves at a specific frequency of 1 MHz (one million vibrations per second). Ultrasound along with MendMeShop Gel is used for a wide range of back sprains with excellent results.

Ultrasound home therapy is recommended for all sorts of back related pain. For complete information and testimonials about the success of Ultrasound, continue browsing AidMyBack.com. The pain of back sprains can be treated in the comfort and convenience of your home.
