Is heat good for lower back pain?
Chronic or long term pain seems to respond best to a moist heat. Heat increases circulation and can help reduce pain stiffness and discomfort. Don’t use a dry heating pad as that can irritate the nerves and make the situation worse. Conversely, acute pain or injuries usually respond better to ice. With heat you bring blood in, but acute situations usually swell and the blood cannot get out. This will increase the pain and stiffness and can even bring calcium into the area as deposits. Ice is s also anti- inflammatory where as heat adds “flame” to an area. READ MORE
