My mom hurt her back?

She was carrying in groceries, (I wasn't home at the time) but she said she had a lot of groceries on her arms and when she turned she felt and heard a "Pop" sound in her lower back. Ever since her back is very sore. She thinks she "threw out her back" (whatever that means) or she pulled a muscle. But she said she heard a pop sound... Anyone know what it could have been? or how to help her? she can walk and bend a bit, but it's sore for her...

    get something like Ben-Gay and rub her back with it. If you have a heating pad put that on her back. Do not use Ben-Gay & the heating pad at the same time.

    If that doesn't help have her see a dr. or dr of chiropractic

  • She got a vertebrae out of whack. She can go to the health store and start taking Arnica 30c

    4 pills dissolve under tongue- am and pm. do not eat or drink half hour of time before or after

    taking. Arnica is for any injury- it stops inflammation and directs more blood into the area

    needing healing- sports people always have it with them.

    Take it till better. Tell her to sleep on her back while this is going on- bc that is best sleep

    position- have neck support and pillow under knees. This will let the spine reset during sleep.-

    If she still has problems the next thing to do is find a shiatsu or acupressure massage person-

    I like authentic shiatsu best- these are Asian med. massages you wear clothes they

    work on your spine ( see the mayo clinic on these) I have tons of experience helping

    people with bad backs and after years of trying all kinds of things- shiatsu works

    great and sometimes you only need one time- it is the fastest, cheapest way to go.
