			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.allegromedical.com/patient-care-c530/neckpro-cervical-traction-device-p190246.html"><img class="alignleft" title="Neckpro Cervical Traction Device " src="http://images.allegrocentral.com/65/66/Neckpro-Cervical-Traction-Device-190246-PRODUCT-MEDIUM_IMAGE.jpg" alt="Neckpro Cervical Traction Device " width="101" height="101" /></a>Almost everyone experiences back pain at some time in their lives.  For me, and I suspect for most, back pain is surprisingly debilitating and ridiculously persistent.  The good news is there are products to help manage back pain or even eliminate it all together.  </p>
<p>If your low back pain doesn&#8217;t go away after a few days, or you&#8217;ve been injured, feel leg tingles, numbness or  weakness, <strong>call your doctor or chiropractor</strong>.  But for routine, mild back pain, you can usually reduce the pain on your own. </p>
<p>The first thing to do when you&#8217;ve injured your back is to ICE IT! Chilling the area reduces inflammation.  Heat does the opposite, and is usually recommended for sore joints, arthritis and chronic pain. Remember, use an <a href="http://www.allegromedical.com/browse/browseProducts.do?searchPhrase=ice+pack">ice pack</a> for only 20 minutes per hour &#8211; for 24 to 48 hours.  </p>
<p>Managing back pain at home and preventing future back problems  involves some thought and a little work but it is well worth it.  Here are Allegro Medical&#8217;s top selling, most popular back relief products.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Best Selling Back Pain Products</h2>
