Bed Rest
The first step in the treatment of a spine injury is to rest.
Resting allows the inflammation to subside and control the
symptoms of muscle spasm.
Bed rest
should begin soon after injury, but ideally, should not continue beyond about 48
hours unless the pain is unbearable. While it is important to rest the injured muscles, it is just as
important to not allow the muscle to become weak and stiff.
Once the
acute inflammation has subsided, some simple exercises supervised and prescribed by your physiotherapist should commence to facilitate your quickest return to normal.
