Lumbago or acute low back pain, is a sudden, sharp pain in the lower back. This pain is often caused by overload, incorrect movement or poor posture. In lumbago, the muscles in the lower back cramp as a protective mechanism. It can happen to anyone and although it is usually not serious, it can be very annoying.
The lumbar spine is located in the lower part of the back and consists of five large vertebrae surrounded by a number of important back muscles that provide stability. Lumbago in this area can cause:
If you suffer from lumbago, it is important to act quickly and wisely to prevent further irritation. Avoid strenuous exercise and give your back time to recover, but keep moving carefully to prevent stiffness. Short and frequent walks are a good example. A hot shower, a hot water bottle, or a warm compress can help relax tense muscles. If heat doesn't help, try a cold compress or ice pack (from the freezer) as well. This penetrates deep into the muscles, reduces pain, is anti-inflammatory and relaxing for the muscles. Of course, never place an ice pack directly on the skin, but always have a thin layer between the skin and the ice pack. Try to maintain a neutral, straight posture and avoid sitting crooked. Consult a doctor if the pain is too severe and pain relief is needed.
Although lumbago often goes away on its own within a few days to weeks, targeted treatment can accelerate recovery and prevent future complaints. Chiropractic is a very effective method here.
