Hi, thanks for writing to HCM.

The treatment of low back pain resulting from a fall or injury is always conservative unless he has signs and symptoms of nerve or spinal cord compression.

The initial management of the low back pain is as follows -

* avoid lifting heavy weights
* avoid forward bending activities
* Use a lumbosacral back support
* Intermittent pelvic traction
* Obese patients should maintain optimum body weight
* Physiotherapy to strengthen the back muscles. Physiotherapy has to be done only after the acute pain has subsided.
* Judicious use of analgesics and muscle relaxants.

Hope this information is helpful. Good day

Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
From descrition it seems that your son had injury over back and now he is on Physiotheray. As it looks like muscle strain, I suggest-
Avoid lifting heavy weights and forward bending activities. Use a lumbosacral back support.
Give rest to the injured part and do not involve in activities which puts additional strain on the injured tissue.
Applying muscle relaxant gel and doing hot fomatation will be helpful to relieve the spasm. He can take antiinflammatory drug like ibuprofen to relieve pain and inflammation.
Hope this will helps you. Feel free to ask me if you have any further queries.
Wish you good health. Take care.
