• 6.8.2017

Some of the medications that are indicated for the treatment of pain in the lumbar region of the spine are analgesics, anti-inflammatories or muscle relaxants, for example, which can be administered in pill, ointment, plaster or injection.

Low back pain, also known as low back pain, is characterized by causing pain with or without stiffness between the final region of the ribs and glutes. The pain can be acute, when symptoms appear suddenly, but last for a few days, or chronic, when symptoms persist for weeks or months.

Drug treatment that helps cure low back pain, includes:

physiotherapy for low back pain;

Hot compresses in the painful area or electrotherapy sessions, which warm the region, and can be useful to deflate the area and eliminate pain;

Postural correction exercises, which can be introduced after pain relief, to prevent symptom attacks and strengthen the spine muscles. Clinical Pilates and RPG are very recommended, as they bring relief from symptoms in a few weeks, although the complete treatment can take about 6 months to 1 year;

Spine stretches, which help to relieve pain and increase range of motion. Learn some stretching exercises to relieve back pain.

Sometimes, when the person suffers from herniated disc or spondylolisthesis, the orthopedist may indicate spine surgery, but this does not exclude the need for physical therapy before and after the procedure.
