Back Pain In Waist Area

[mintymow]

What helps pain best, cold or heat or a combination.

[Patsy33]

I would've thought heat if its muscle pain, but I'm not a doctor. Good luck.

Not enough information.

If you mean, as i assume, muscular pain, then it makes not a jot of difference...hot, cold or combinations.

I was always told, by my chiropractic best buudy, to apply cold. Only leave on 20 mins. Wait 20 mins and do it again. Works for me.

Unbelievable, but your body reacts to heat and cold exactly the same.

Cold is very slightly better (about 3%) if you can stand the discomfort, I can't so I go for heat. It's why top sports people go for ice baths as a recovery from vigorous excercise!!
