Pain management can be a challenge for those who are suffering from lower back pain. Here Dr. Hussein A. Huraibi of MIPM addresses what NOT to do for lower back pain.

The team of experts in Pain management in Dubai at the Michigan Institute of Pain Management (MIPM), has been providing treatment for low back pain for over 10 years.

Pain management is a relatively new field of treatment in Dubai and the team of experts at MIPM led by Dr. Hussein A. Huraibi is keen on the importance of the pain management and has made it their priority to find the best way to treat patients.

Often, many people suffering from lower back pain. They know what needs to be done, but they are not aware of what should not be done. The team of experts at MIPM present some of the " what NOT to do!" for lower back pain.

 Ice vs. Heat - Usually many people tend to use either ice or a hot pack. But what should be used first?. Typically, Ice should be tried first because it will not make the condition worse, as opposed to heat. Ice is an anti-inflammatory agent, and it reduces swelling, congestion or pushes painful chemicals and fluids that accumulate out of the injured area. On the other hand, heat does the opposite of ice. It’s a vasodilator and pulls fluids into the area. It will feel good temporarily, but it makes the condition worse in the long run.

Ignore the pain - Lower Back Pain will only get worse over time, not better. Make sure to seek treatment before it reaches a disabling level.

Bed rest - There is a time for bed rest and a time to exercise. Avoid activities that create sharp pains, and opt for low impact exercises at the initial stages.

Focus on the medical reports - Research suggests that about 50% have bulging disks, and 20% have herniated disks in the lower back, but does not experience any pain or symptoms. For instance, the presence of arthritis on x-rays may have no relationship to an episode of low back pain. So medical reports such as MRIs and x-rays can be misleading sometimes.

" If you, a friend or family member requires care for lower back pain, we can help you overcome this with the best type of treatment that does not require surgery" says Dr. Hussein A. Huraibi.
