Dealing with lower back pain can be a real challenge, whether it’s a persistent issue or a sudden flare-up. This common condition can cause discomfort during movement, when maintaining a certain posture, or even when you’re trying to relax. It’s not just limited to the back either – some people also experience pain or numbness in their lower limbs.
When it comes to acute lower back pain, often associated with a slipped disc, even simple activities like getting out of bed, walking, or sitting can become excruciating. The psoas major muscle in your abdomen may also play a role, making everyday movements like bending over, putting on socks, or even coughing incredibly painful. In severe cases, mobility can be severely affected.
If you’re dealing with symptoms of a slipped disc, you might find that milder cases take about a week to improve, while more stubborn cases can last over a month. It’s crucial to seek and continue proper treatment to prevent these symptoms from becoming a chronic issue.
During the initial stage, treatment focuses on managing pain and inflammation, sometimes requiring rest and immobilization. In cases of severe inflammation, acupressure points on the hands and feet may be targeted to provide relief. As the condition progresses to a chronic stage, the goal shifts to relieving tension in stiff muscles. From inserting needles for mild cases to using electric acupuncture and red-light for severe symptoms, there are various approaches to address this.
Whole-body treatment aims to create an environment that fosters recovery. Lower back pain can stem from various factors, such as prolonged periods in one position, fatigue in the lower limbs, or internal medical conditions. It’s crucial to address any underlying diseases and improve the overall condition. For instance, kidney diseases are closely related to lower back pain, so improving kidney function is essential. Women with gynecological conditions may also be at a higher risk and should seek suitable treatment. Additionally, it’s important to work on the condition of muscles that support posture, ultimately improving balance while standing. And in cases of chronic lower back pain due to poor blood flow, techniques like moxibustion can be used to promote better circulation.
Remember, taking care of your back is crucial, and seeking the right treatment can make a world of difference.
