 Back pain is very common. It is usually
caused by strain. To treat it, take pain-killing tablets such as paracetamol or
ibuprofen. Gentle stretching exercises and rest may help. Where a form of physical
therapy can help, your GP is able to advise which professional is suitable ie
chiropractor, masseur, osteopath or physiotherapist. |
