Acute back strain: You might have strained the back muscles. You can try heat or ice whichever gives you relief. You can use them alternatively also. Try anti inflammatory medicine like advil or aleve (naproxen). Once the pain lightens back muscle stretching might help. For persistent pain consult your doctor, you may need physical therapy
