CONTENT: The purpose of this short book is to provide easy at-home-remedies available for neck and low back pain during the COVID-19 pandemic. Healthcare options for individuals with non-urgent medical issues (such as neck and low back pain) are significantly limited during this time due to utilization concerns. Many individuals who are typically under a physician-directed program to manage their pain find themselves quarantined at home without pain management options.
The following text will provide you with some simple methods to attack neck and back pain. Some very easy stretches and exercises are presented. The use of modalities such as heat and ice are discussed. The controversial and debated topic of medical marijuana in the management of pain is also explored.
