Ice, though not feeling as good as heat, is probably better for the injury. I've been through it many, many times.

Posts: 31260 05/17/2012 9:41 AM i am the lizard queen	My mom has had 2 surgeries on her lower back and one of the PT remedies they taught her before her surgeries and she still uses it today even after the surgeries is stretching. My back constantly hurts and sometimes pills help, sometimes heating pads, ice, showers, etc... help but other times just stretching can help. The key is to sit towards the edge of a hard chair, feet flat on the ground, knees bent at a 90 degree angle. Sit up as straight as you can and then let your head fall towards your chest, trying to get your chin to hit your chest. Just let you back, vertebrae and discs stretch out for a few minutes. Get back up into a straight position with head up and stretch the back again, chin to chest. It doesn't work always or for everyone, but I try it every so often, just to give my back/vertebrae a stretch. It doesn't relieve my pain for all day but it does feel pretty damn good after I am done because we compact our spine so much during the day and in our life, we don't let it stretch and go back to normal.

I forget how much tension I can get in my neck and shoulders sometimes. It is surprising how much pain we can be in with our back, neck and shoulders and not even know it. I love doing this exercise for just like 15 minutes, it's enough to stretch my spine and everything. For me, it can start to hurt at first but it's like a good hurt, the kind that makes me know I'm giving my spine a good stretch. I honestly recommend it for people even if they aren't in pain, to just do it once a day at your desk or at the kitchen table after getting home from work. I don't know if you've ever seen these infomercials for this new machine, you get into it and then it flips your body back so that you are kind of hanging from your feet while lying back on this machine. It is suppose to stretch out your body and your back and like help decompress your spine. I think the exercise I wrote is kind of the same thing, just your sitting instead of lying back upside down and it's free

Deadlifts are really good for that if you're able to do them, because it forces your core (abs, obliques, lower back, lats, shoulders) to remain stable under heavy loads. You may want to see a trainer or find a friend who has good form to teach you how to do them properly so you don't injure yourself.
