The lumbar portion of the spine is the area just above
your buttocks. This lowermost part of the spine is further joined to
the skeletal structure of the legs. The lumbar pine plays a very
important role in supporting the balance and movement of the body while
working, walking, lifting, kneeling, or even sitting. Perhaps it is the
most important and sensitive area of the rest of the spine.
Almost 68% of the working-class Americans suffer from lower lumbar back
pain. General lower lumbar back pain due to muscles spasms and strains
causes no side effects except for some mild pain in the thighs. But
this pain has a history of traveling to other parts. The cure of this
kind of pain is rest, hot water pad application and cold-water
treatment. Along with them, stretching exercises for the lower and
mid-back are also helpful in reducing the pain and the spasms.
Methods to reduce lower lumbar back pain:
There are soft wedges designed for resting the knees
which takes the pressure from your hind portion and is of great use
when there is a sudden bout of pain. It is generally recommended for
those who have the habit of sleeping on their back. Then, there are
foam pillows of small sizes which are designed to keep yours knees
separate in order to reduce the stress on the back; it is suitable for
people sleeping sideways.
There are soles with specific pressure points on them which use the
nervous impulse to heal the pain and can be used regularly with shoes
and sandals. Besides the usual painkillers and analgesics there are OTC
capsules which may combine tropical medicines and supplements like
glucosamine for rejuvenating the strength and endurance level of bones
and muscles. However, all these are specific products should be used
under prescription as per the physician recommendation.
