From minor and temporary to major and persistent, lower back pain is one of the most common ailments that has disturbed today a vast population of adults both males and females. The treatment depends upon the cause. Consequently, in order to have an effective back pain treatment, consultation from your doctor and detailed diagnosis is recommended to figure out the symptoms and root cause of the pain. Mentioned below are few common causes of and their solution for back pain:

 

1.     Acute Muscle or Joint Strain

It is often the most common injury to occur to the lower back and quite often happens when lifting excess weight or getting sports injury with symptoms of spasm, acute pain, and restricted movement. Immediately putting ice packs on the area of injury for at least ten minutes and repeating it several times until the inflammation starts to alleviate.

 

2.     Disc Prolapsed

It is a serious condition that demands immediate medical attention and back pain treatment. In this, initially rest and taking advice from a specialist medical practitioner is essential. And later strengthening the area is a great idea. I recommend Pilates since it targets strengthening the core abdominal muscles that support love back and decreases the risks of any further disc prolapsed.

 

3.     Repetitive Strain Injury

Usually seen in upper back, this sort of injury often happens in the lower back due to a repetitive pattern of a continuous action for a long period of time, resulting in stress to the soft tissues and joints. Immediately leave the action, give it relaxation, and try adjusting, adapting, and balancing your body movement throughout the day to relieve the pain. Getting regular massage from an experienced therapist is a great back pain treatment.

Adopting healthy lifestyle, consuming wholesome foods, doing regular morning jogging, and making the most of relaxation exercises would be great ways to keep you healthy and stay away from back ache.
