There are a number of reasons that caused lower back pain. Some of these reasons include injury to the muscles, discs that support the spinal column or damage to the ligaments, muscle strain and overuse of muscles. If you find lower back pain annoying and would like to cure this, read on to find out some treatments that can help improve your lower back pains.
For a couple of days, choose a resting position that you find comfortable. You can try lying on your side with the pillow positioned in between your knees. Or try lying on your back on the floor then place a pillow beneath your knees. As much as possible, shift positions, never remain in one position for long. Then every two hours, take a ten to twenty minutes walk, after that rest. In cases where you are experiencing pain, take some medicine like acetaminophen or those that reduce the swelling and irritation such as Ibuprofen or Naproxen. These medicines are effective especially when taken regularly as compared to taking these when the pain is severe.
Another way to treat lower back pain is by using a heating pad set on low or medium or buy a single-use heating wraps that can last for 8 hours. Although there is no proof that this method actually works, however, you can try them to find out if this can help.
If you think you are able, resume your normal activities. Moving your muscles help keep these strong. It is not recommended that you stay in bed for more than a day because this will only make your lower back pain worse. Walking is another exercise that can help you with your lower back pain.
