There is no absolute most effective way to relieve lumbar pain. The causes of lumbar pain may be lumbar muscle strain, lumbar disc herniation, lumbar spine fracture, etc. You can choose general treatment, medication, physical therapy, surgery and other ways of treatment according to different causes. 1. Lumbar muscle strain: prolonged sitting or stooping labor puts the lumbar muscles in a state of excessive tension for a long time, leading to spasm of the lumbar muscles and symptoms of lumbar pain. Patients can avoid overwork, correct posture, localized hot compresses, oral ibuprofen for pain relief and other ways to relieve lumbar pain. 2. Lumbar disc herniation: Lumbar disc herniation can cause lumbar pain due to the herniated nucleus pulposus compressing the peripheral nerve roots. Lumbar disc herniation can be treated by conservative methods such as lumbar back muscle exercise, traction, oral ibuprofen analgesia, etc. When conservative treatment is ineffective and the symptoms are serious, surgical treatments such as intervertebral disc removal are feasible. 3. Lumbar spine fracture: Lumbar spine fracture causes pain in the lower back due to fracture and local soft tissue swelling. Minor lumbar spine fracture can be relieved by bed rest, nutrition, oral ibuprofen for pain relief, functional exercises and other conservative treatments; serious lumbar spine fracture should be timely surgical treatment, reset the fracture, strengthen the internal fixation, to prevent the fracture fragments from compressing or damaging the nerves. The causes of lumbar pain also include lumbar sprain, osteoarthritis, tuberculosis, etc. Patients should go to the hospital in a timely manner, improve the examination, give targeted treatment after the cause is clear, do not blindly use drugs.
