Ice for the first 24-48 hours then heat.

Yes! But don't leave it on the part that hurt's that long, maybe 3 hours most. It can cause you to get cancer or hurt the part worse than is. If it keeps hurting, I would seek a doctor.

try ice first....what hurts? Your back? Remember when bending over relax neck so it wont tense, bend knees.
