Can massage or similar hand-held treatments be helpful in treating back pain ?

In the treatment of low back pain, more than ninety percent of the pain disappears automatically in two to six weeks, whether you treat it or not.

Many patients feel relieved by such close treatment and also feel better from frequent contact with the therapist.

What exercises to do to prevent back pain ?

There is more harm than good in exercising when there is a sudden onset of low back pain, but exercise may be helpful for patients who have persistent low back pain or frequent back pain. Exercise develops the muscles around the spine and can strengthen the weakened part. Swimming exercises are very useful for back pain. Apart from this, walking exercises, standing cycling exercises at home or simple cycling exercises on the road without pits outside the house can be done. All these exercises increase the fitness of the body and can be useful for the prevention of other ailments besides back pain. In fact, to date, studies have not shown that doing these simple whole body exercises, apart from useful exercises, is more beneficial in low back pain. However, if there is no pain while doing special back exercises, there is no problem in doing such exercises under medical advice.

There are three main types of lumbar exercises: (1) forward lumbar exercises, (2) lumbar reclining exercises and (3) pelvic exercises. In most low back pain, the curvature of the lumbar spine needs to be slightly straight. In medical parlance this curve is known as lumbar lordosis. This curve of the waist is straightened and many people feel relief when the exercises are done to turn the waist forward. Of course, people who have weak bones or who are taking steroid medication are more likely to develop a vertebral fracture by leaning forward, so they should not do this exercise or do it after consulting their doctor. But People who have difficulty moving their cushions should not do this exercise. To do pelvic exercises, lie down, bend the legs from the knees and exert pressure on the abdominal muscles so that all parts of the waist touch the ground. In this way place your palm between the ground and the waist at the beginning to make sure that the thrust feels right and then see if there is pressure on it. This exercise straightens the curvature of the spine near the waist and can reduce the pain.

Of course, a few changes in exercise may be necessary for each patient, so it is important to consult your doctor before starting any exercise. If it hurts more than any asana-exercise, stop there. Do not do exercises by forcing the body.
