LOW BACK PAIN TREATMENT

Know your categories before get such of treatment

When we talk about low back pain treatment, then before that, we must know in advance the classification of low back pain itself. To note that low back pain is classified into two categories: low back pain, acute and chronic low back pain. 

(1) For acute low back pain - this is a pain that has lasted for less than three months and generally most people do at home treatment of this disease. Kind of treatment that we can apply for this category is quite diverse. Previously we must first understand first aid measures indicated when we get back pain for the first time starting to use ice or heat assistance, taking medication, and make sure we do not rest too much. Sometimes, we will feel the pain that lasts longer up to several hours or even several days although we have applied first aid measures. For that, we will require additional treatment such as applying a stronger pain medication or manual therapy. When the pain we feel very sick and make us in pain, then we can get painkillers from a doctor such as opiates or muscle relaxants for short-term use.

(2) For chronic low back pain - this is a pain that has lasted more than three months and for the disease to this category we will get a more intensive treatment. Types of low back pain treatment that we can apply to relieve pain in our back, among others: acupuncture treatment, massage treatment, undertake a comprehensive rehabilitation program, cognitive behavioral therapy, or conduct biofeedback. For chronic low back pain, if we apply one type of treatment alone, then surely it will not always be able to eliminate the pain we feel. It may be that we have to combine several treatments in order to eliminate the pain we feel.
