The problem occurs when you bend down to tie your shoe lace or to pick up something dropped on the floor and you suddenly feel a severe rush of pain in your lower back. There could be a lot of reasons behind low back pain but certainly we are not sure of the actual problem. Most of the people assume that the pain is caused due to their weight or may be due to hours of sitting at work place. In a recently published research it is clearly defined that approximately 80 percent of people in the U.S. face the problem of low back pain because of their uncontrollable weight, inappropriate posture and lack of exercise.
In order to prevent low back pain here are certain treatments that should be taken into consideration as they might help in reducing the pain:
Conducting Body Therapies
The best technique for the treatment of low back pain is through massage and acupuncture. Massage helps in relieving the pain and effectively supports the muscles and tissues to be in the right place. According to studies acupuncture helps in the blood circulation and releases the stress. It also helps in straightening the spinal cords while increasing the motion of blood and relaxes the joints. Some of the therapists also suggest conducting yoga because it helps in stretching the muscles of the body.
Taking Injections
In a lot of situations we see that taking pain killers and injections gives a temporary relief in pain of all sorts. Similarly under certain crucial situations of low back pain doctors’ advise to take injections in order to prevent chronic pain and reduce inflammation in the joints of the back bone.
Electric Stimulation
Some of the orthopedic physicians also suggest to undergo electrical stimulation in which current is sent to the nerves/ muscles which gives a long lasting relief in pain. Surgery should be the last step as it will involve certain side effects which may not occur immediately but in later stages of life.
