what is the treatment for Lumbago.

[ArchivalUser]

There are an assortment of nonsurgical treatments for lumbago, including exercise and gentle stretches for the back, anti-inflammatories and painkillers to ease the swelling and pain associated with the condition, and the use of antidepressants to treat the mental discomfort which sometimes accompanies back pain. Some doctors also recommend spinal manipulation or massage to ease lumbago, along with treatments like acupuncture. Application of hot or cold compresses can sometimes help as well.

In some cases, the condition may require surgery. This is often true of lumbago caused by damage to the spine, or chronic lumbago which keeps recurring. Surgical options vary depending on the cause of the lower back pain, and surgeons usually discuss the available choices carefully with their patients. Surgery can restore the integrity of the spine, ideally while preserving the patient's mobility and flexibility.
