Strain: Treatment for acute low back strain involves rest, cold applications for 48 hours followed by warm, moist applications for only 20-30 minutes 4 times a day, good firm mattress and taking anti-inflammatory medications like Advil or Aleve. In severe cases taking a muscle relaxant like Flexeril is helpful. Rubbing liniments like bengay are soothing. It takes 7-10 days to recover. Otherwise see yourMD
