How to reduce back pain

There are many simple things that you can do to reduce back pain. The first thing you should do is visit a spine specialist to have a very thorough history and examination. At Sound Chiropractic Center, we perform orthopedic, neurological, and chiropractic tests to find out exactly what is wrong. For temporary relief, you can use ice direcly over the pain for 20 min. with a thin layer between the skin and ice pack. When sleeping, you can use a pillow under your legs while laying on your back or a pillow between the knees if sleeping on your side. If you or someone you know is having back pain, call our office at 206-440-7700.
