Hello,

Thank you for writing to HCM about your query,

Brief Answer -

Treatment for lower back pain depends upon the patient's history and the type and severity of pain, as you described i explained below meditation.

Explained Answer -

The vast majority of lower back pain cases get better within six weeks without surgery, and lower back pain exercises are almost always part of a treatment plan.

If pain persists or worsens, more involved diagnostic and surgical procedures may be recommended.


Medications : A wide variety of over-the-counter and prescription medications is available to help reduce symptoms of lower back pain.
Many medications reduce inflammation, which is often a cause of pain, while others work to inhibit the transmission of pain signals from reaching the brain.
Each medication has multiple unique risks, possible side effects and drug (or food or supplement) interactions, which need to be evaluated by a physician.

Also i would suggest Rest for sometime more because Ceasing activity for a few days allows injured tissue and even nerve roots to begin to heal, which in turn will help relieve lower back pain.
However, more than a few days of rest can lead to a weakening of the muscles, and weak muscles have to struggle to adequately support the spine.

Patients who do not regularly exercise to build strength and flexibility are more likely to experience recurrent or prolonged lower back pain.

Hope You will find it out helpful.

Thanks And Regards,
Dr. Gaurav Prajapati
