Lower back pain home treatment

If lower back pain is originated in the muscles, then stretching, doing strengthening exercises and taking anti inflammatory meds such as ibuprofen may help.

If lower back pain originates in the bones, that’s a problem for doctors to handle.

If it is a muscle problem then,  do some stretches on a hard surface. Sit on the bare floor and try different stretch positions to see which ones cause the most pain, and work on those problem areas.

Besides that, you have to be more active and stop watching so much t.v. ! The core of the body is the most important part to maintain because his problems will only get worse in the future if you do not do some abdominal or lumbar exercises.

Investing in a heat pad will do some good too, but make sure to take aspirin or ibuprofen everyday. If in any doubt, go and see a doctor.
