Question

- A high school shot-putter came into the athletic training room complaining of a very sore

back. He indicated that he woke up with the problem and was not sure how it occurred.

incorrectly. What immediate care should be performed? What follow-up care?

Answer 2

In a non- hospital environment, the best you can do is follows these instructions:

- Rest. Cut back on normal activities to try and help with swelling and pain.

- Ice the area for 20 min., 4 to 8 times a day, with ice wrapped in a towel. This helps with inflammation. During this time, DO NOT apply heat.

- Apply pressure. Wrap an elastic bandage around your back, not too tightly. This helps reduce swelling.

- Go see a doctor that can provide NSAID ( nonsteriodal anti-flammatory drug) to help relieve pain. Chances are you just have a minor back sprain

Step-by-step explanation:

- Follow-up.

- Apply heat for the first 48 hours

- Warm up and Cool down

- Don't push too hard
