Pulled muscle or muscle spasm
This is one of the quickest issues to heal and rehabilitate, and could just require some massage therapy, coupled with some stretching exercises to perform at home.
Poor posture
Poor posture when sitting, standing or lifting can cause stress to your spine. Treatment could involve massage or stretching.
Ligament sprains
These could be treated with ice packs to reduce pain and swelling and some exercises to build up strength.
