Let’s take a look at the treatments for lumbar muscle strain.

(1) Maintain good posture and correct various deformities. The correct posture is to keep your head up and eyes straight, tuck in your abdomen and straighten your chest, maintain the normal physiological curvature of the spine, and avoid excessive lordosis of the cervical and lumbar vertebrae. Maintaining good posture is most important during the developmental years of childhood and adolescence.

(2) Strengthening physical exercise can keep muscles, ligaments, and joint capsules healthy and well-developed. People with good muscle strength and ligament elasticity are less likely to suffer from strain injuries.

(3) Pay attention to body posture during work and avoid working for too long in an improper body posture. For those who work in a single posture, they should insist on exercising during breaks.

(4) Pay attention to the combination of work and rest. People with chronic diseases, malnutrition, and obesity should pay attention to rest. Acute sprains should be treated.

When you are injured, you should adjust; when you are tired, you should rest. Tendon sheath diseases are mostly caused by strain, so treatment must be combined with rest and adjustment. To regulate, you need to massage the corresponding ointment on the uncomfortable part of the tendon sheath to allow the medicinal power to penetrate the skin, regulate the circulation of qi and blood, and relieve pain and discomfort. If you need to rest, you should develop good living habits and avoid over-activity of the affected area to facilitate the recovery of damaged tissues.
