Back Pain Treatments Pain in the lower back or
low back pain is a common concern, affecting up
to 90 of people at some point in their lifetime.
Up to 50 will have more than one episode. Low
back pain is not a specific disease. Rather, it
is a symptom that may occur from a variety of
different processes. In up to 85 of people with
low back pain, despite a thorough medical
examination, no specific cause of the pain can be
identified. Back pain can have many underlying
reasons, but often no specific cause will be
found and the pain will stop. We try to touch on
many of the causes of back pain and proper
evaluation and diagnosis. Please make sure to
discuss your individual symptoms as well as the
suggested treatments with us to determine the
appropriate diagnostic and treatment plan for
your circumstances. Low back pain is second
only to the common cold as a cause of lost days
at work. It is also one of the most common
reasons to visit a doctor's office or a
hospital's emergency department. Doctors
usually refer to back pain as acute if it has
been present for less than a month and chronic if
it lasts for a longer period of time.Causes Back
pain is a symptom. Common causes of back pain
involve disease or injury to the muscles, bones,
and/or nerves of the spine (a nerve is directly
irritated), often due to a herniation (or
bulging) of the disc between the lower back
bones. Herniated discs are produced as the
spinal discs degenerate or grow thinner. The
jellylike central portion of the disc bulges out
of the central cavity and pushes against a nerve
root. Spondylosis occurs as intervertebral
discs lose moisture and volume with age, which
decreases the disc height. spinal-canal

SymptomsPain in the lumbosacral area (lower
part of the back) is the primary symptom of low
back pain. The pain may radiate down the
front, side, or back of your leg, or it may be
confined to the low back. The pain may become
worse with activity. Occasionally, the pain may
be worse at night or with prolonged sitting such
as on a long car trip. You may have numbness or
weakness in the part of the leg that receives its
nerve supply from a compressed nerve.This can
cause an inability to plantar flex the foot. This
means you would be unable to stand on your toes
or bring your foot downward. This occurs when the
first sacral nerve is compressed or injured.
Another example would be the inability to raise
your big toe upward. This results when the fifth
lumbar nerve is compromised.Tips for preventing
back strain Don't lift by bending over. Lift
an object by bending your knees and squatting to
pick up the object. Keep your back straight and
hold the object close to your body. Avoid
twisting your body while lifting. Push rather
than pull when you must move heavy objects. If
you must sit at your desk or at the wheel of a
car or truck for long hours, break up the time
with stops to stretch. Wear flat shoes or shoes
with low heels (1 inch or lower). Exercise
regularly. An inactive lifestyle contributes to
low back pain. Sit in chairs with straight
backs or low-back support. Keep your knees a
little higher than your hips. Adjust the seat or
use a low stool to prop your feet on. Turn by
moving your whole body rather than by twisting at
your waist.  When driving, sit straight and
move the seat forward. This helps you not lean
forward to reach the controls. You may want to
put a small pillow or rolled towel behind your
lower back if you must drive or sit for a long
time. The best way to sleep is on your side
with your knees bent. You may put a pillow under
your head to support your neck. You may also put
a pillow between your knees.  If you sleep on
your back, put pillows under your knees and a
small pillow under your lower back. Don't sleep
on your stomach unless you put a pillow under
your hips.  Use a firm mattress. Use a
firm mattresses for back pain in India, if your
mattress is too soft, use a board of 1/2-inch
plywood under the mattress to add support.  .Some
specific exercises can help your back. One is to
gently stretch your back muscles. Lie on your
back with your knees bent and slowly raise your
left knee to your chest. Press your lower back
against the floor. Hold for 5 seconds. Relax and
repeat the exercise with your right knee. Do 10
of these exercises for each leg, switching legs.

While some exercises are specific for your back,
it's also important to stay active in general.
Swimming and walking are good exercises to
improve your overall fitness.Home RemediesIf
you're not experiencing any of the above
symptoms, there are several things you can do at
home to help soothe your sore backBed Rest
Isn't Best. Going about your normal, everyday
activitiesbut perhaps at a slower pace, and
definitely avoiding what may have caused your
pain in the first placeis a good way to start
the healing process. A little "couch time" won't
hurt, but light activity speeds recovery, so
avoiding lying down for long periods of
time. Hot And Cold. Heat and cold, in the form
of a hot bath or hot and cold compresses, can
help relieve sore and inflamed muscles and
tissue. Remembercold comes first! Wrap an ice
pack (or a bag of frozen vegetables) in a thin
cloth to avoid frostbite, and apply to the
affected area for up to 20 minutes several times
a day. Ice slows inflammation and swelling, numbs
tissue and slows nerve impulses to the injured
area.Once the acute pain and muscle spasms
subside (about 48 hours after the first onset of
pain is recommended), you can apply heatto
loosen muscle tightness - by taking a warm bath
or using a heating pad, heat pack or heat
lamp. Pain Relief In A Pill. Non-steroidal
anti-inflammatory can ease pain, swelling and
stiffness. Support Yourself. If you must sit or
stand for long periods of time, consider using a
brace or corset. Worn properly, they can relieve
pain and provide warmth, comfort and support.
But, don't rely on this type of external support
too longallowing it to perform your muscles' job
will eventually weaken them, making re-injury
easier. If your back pain hasn't improved
noticeably after 72 hours of self-care, contact
your health care provider.Modalities These
methods are called passive therapies, or
modalities. They are done to the patient and not
by the patient. There are other modalities that
are commonly used. Heat and ice packs are a
well-known form of passive physiotherapy. They
can be used separately, or they can be used
alternately by a person who is suffering from
acute lower back pain.
