    Heat for back pain, IMHO. 20 minutes on, 20 minutes off...

    I need to ice it at first to reduce swelling. I'll apply heat tomorrow.

    The jury is out on that one. Whatever works I guess... Get well!

    There is disagreement even among physicians about whether to do ice or heat. I prefer heat for pulled muscles (which is often the case when you have "thrown your back out" unless you have a herniated disc or something). Ultimately do what gives you the most relief.
