What Treatment Should I Take For Lower Back Pain ?

Hi, I am suffering from back pain in the mid back to lower back from the last 15 days. Although this is not regular, the resistance is decreasing. Today while travelling in a taxi for less than 45 minutes my back started paining and it went on for 4-5 hours. Please suggest. I do work on computers a lot and i try to sit straight... but it does not seem to help. Thanks for your reply :)

You seem to be having WEAKNESS OF LUMBAR MUSCLES. COMPUTER FATIGUE SYNDROME may be the cause.
It means that your back muscles are weak. You need to do certain exercises to strengthen them. A qualified physiotherapist may teach you such exercises.
Working on computer for a prolonged period may lead to such a problem.
You need to follow the RULE OF 20 while working on a computer.
After every 20 minutes, see at a distance of 20 feet for 20 seconds and walk for a distance of 20 paces.
