How do I help my back heal?
I was in a car accident just over a week ago. My car was pushed into a car in front of me. The airbags deployed and ruined my windshield. Needless to say, I have pretty bad whiplash. I went to the doctor on Wednesday and got X-rays of my back and neck; they said my neck hurting was caused by muscle spasms (if they were just at the time of the accident or afterwards as well, I don't know) and the part of my backbone that's supposed to be curved is straightened. That part of my back Still hurts, and I'm getting worried. I've emailed my doctor in response, but I'm too anxious to find out what's going to happen. All I was told is that my neck hurting is caused by muscle spasms, and that my back may be straightened from my positioning (sometimes I stand awkwardly to avoid the pain) or muscle spasms, or a mix of both. They've given me ibuprofen and muscle relaxants, but I'm nervous about my spine being straight. Will it heal over time? Are there sure matters I can do to help speed up the process? I know someone's gotta have some odd trick, like sleeping on a wooden board or having someone crack it. Of course, I'll double-check with my doctor before taking things in my own hands. I'd like to be a neurologist someday, so I know how dangerous it is to mess with your backbone and neck. I'm just a little anxious/curious and don't want to wait until Monday or Tuesday when she gets back and replies to my email.
Sorry whether I seem a little repetitive, it's getting late and the muscle relaxants are taking over. haha
you have an exaggerated posterior tilt of your pelvis thus decreasing the lumber curve hence compression of the lumber vertebrae, 90/90 position will make the condition worse since it helps reduce lumber lordosis. in this case increasing the curve is the key.
try and see a physiotherapy and get an exercise program that will target the hip flexors, back muscles and the abdominals. your best bet will be walking off your pain. you get the best overall exercise by walking in your neighborhood.

Have you tried the 90/90 position? lie on your back with your calves resting on something of appropriate height. This relieves tension in the back. Also avoid sitting in a chair for too long because it strains the back. Rotations of hot and cold compresses are supposed to increase the rate of new red blood cells into the affected area thus hastening the curative. I find that Deep breaths along with gentle rolling around on my back helps pop stuff into it's proper position.
