How do you treat lower back pain??


Answers: It depends. Commonly it resolves on its own in 6-8 weeks if you don't injure it again. Heat pads, anti-inflammatories, muscle relaxants, and stretching exercises can be used to partially relieve symptoms. Many people find massage to be soothing during this healing period. Because of the time sequence, many people mistakenly assume that one of these treatments actually cured their back pain. It is also important to examine your postures and activities for any that may be causing you to irritate your back. Some overweight people find that losing weight decreases the frequency of their back problems.

***** HOWEVER keep in mind that a small number of cases are caused by very serious conditions ranging from herniations to tumors and metabolic diseases which can severly weaken the bone and injure nerves. It is very important that these conditions be excluded before any manipulative forces are applied to your back. Otherwise you risk serious nerve or spinal cord injury.
