Care after treatment

If in acute pain or following an adjustment, it is always best to ice your back for 5-10 minutes, followed by a short 10 minute walk. This process should be repeated every hour or two.

Ice is important to reduce the inflammation at the disc or spinal joint that has been inflamed. Heat in this instance can actually exacerbate the swelling, so it is important not to put heat onto the affected joint to avoid making the swelling worse.

Walking, in affect, helps pump the fluid out of the disc, which therefore also helps reduce the swelling that has built up in the disc.
