Back pain

Back pain is one of the most common chronic health problems in Canada. Lower back pain, lumbago, sciatica, hernias—the pain takes different shapes, and can be exacerbated by our overly sedentary lifestyles. Coupled with any treatment prescribed by your doctor, Magic Bag can help.

Depending on the pain phase you’re in, applying a hot or cold Magic Bag to the painful area will help you heal. If you’ve had to remain in bed for a day or two, rapid resumption of normal activities is the best way to deal with pain: It prevents stiffness from setting in and keeps your back flexible and vigorous.

When using your Magic Bag, take the following preventive measures:

• Get a good night’s sleep (choose a suitable mattress and pillow).
• Watch your weight.
• Do some light physical activity (walking, swimming, cycling) once symptoms are alleviated.
• Strengthen the muscles in your back and abdomen.
• Improve your posture (lift loads by bending your knees instead of your waist; avoid staying or working in the same position for too long).
