What method is there to treat backache and leg pain after climbing a mountain?

1. Apply warm water or take a warm bath to speed up blood circulation. At the same time, drink some sugar water or salt water and replenish water as soon as possible, because after sweating a lot, the sodium salt in the body will be taken away by sweat, so you should replenish it in time and have a good rest.

2. You can use drugs such as Shexiang Shuhuoling safflower oil, which are specially used for muscle soreness after exercise. If it is very serious, you can consider going to the hospital for infrared baking, combined with acupuncture and electrical stimulation.

3. Massage. The softer the technique, the better. Split your legs left and right, lean your upper body forward, and beat the thigh muscles repeatedly with both hands. Lift the thigh when tapping the calf muscles.

4. Rest+moderate activities. (This is good for your health and will increase your strength after recovery)

5. Eat more alkaline food. Such as fruits, vegetables and bean products, eat less acidic food. Such as eggs, meat, etc. In fact, eating lightly is to maintain the basic balance of pH in the body, maintain human health, and eliminate fatigue caused by exercise as soon as possible.

After climbing a mountain, the calf feels pain or cramp on the way down, which is medically called gastrocnemius spasm. This is because the gastrocnemius muscle has been in a state of tension and contraction, and it can't relax and rest in the process of downhill. The muscle works continuously, which causes the accumulation of lactic acid in the muscle. There are several reasons for preventing and treating calf pain and cramps: lactic acid accumulation is not scattered, muscle fatigue (sore feeling), and possibly strain (pain). Hot compress and exercise will accelerate blood circulation and take away lactic acid, and massage will promote muscle fatigue. These are all methods that can be adopted.
