Treatment of lumbar myofasciitis

Lumbar myofasciitis can usually be relieved and function improved through conservative treatment, medication and appropriate rehabilitation training. Severe cases may require physical therapy or minimally invasive surgery. The key is to choose a reasonable treatment plan based on the cause to avoid aggravating symptoms.

Lumbar myofasciitis is an inflammatory disease caused by long-term improper posture, overuse of lumbar muscles or trauma, often manifested as dull pain, tenderness and limited movement deep in the waist. Its treatment is mainly non-surgical, and most patients can relieve symptoms by resting and adjusting the amount of activity. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (such as ibuprofen) are commonly used in drug treatment to relieve pain and reduce inflammation. Local ointments (such as Voltaren gel) can also act directly on the lesion. It is not ruled out that severe patients can be combined with muscle relaxants to relieve spasms. Physical therapy is a classic method to improve myofasciitis. Choosing ultrasound therapy, hot compress therapy and low-frequency electrical stimulation can all help promote blood circulation and relax tense muscle groups. For cases where conservative treatment is ineffective, local injection of hormone drugs (such as triamcinolone injection) can be considered to quickly relieve symptoms. Rehabilitation training also includes correcting bad posture and balancing waist strength. Gentle yoga stretching movements, such as cat-cow pose and child pose, can be carried out to gradually enhance muscle endurance.

Avoid staying in the same position for a long time, especially office workers need to develop the habit of getting up and moving around regularly. Choose a suitable mattress when sleeping to support the natural curve of the waist and reduce pressure on the nerve roots. If the symptoms persist for several weeks without relief or the pain worsens, it is recommended to seek medical attention for MRI or other imaging evaluation to rule out other risks of lesions. Scientific treatment and lifestyle adjustments can help prevent chronicity and restore normal quality of life.
