2. Sports rehabilitation: You can do back muscle function exercises, such as three-point support method, five-point support method, etc., which can enhance the strength and endurance of the waist muscles and prevent the recurrence of waist muscle strain. At the same time, doing waist stretching exercises during work or study can also relieve the tension of waist muscles and prevent waist muscle strain.

3. Drug treatment: Commonly used drugs include non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as celecoxib capsules, etoricoxib tablets, diclofenac sodium enteric-coated tablets, etc. These drugs can relieve pain and inflammation.

4. Physical therapy: such as hot compress, can promote local blood circulation and relieve pain. At the same time, combined with infrared heat therapy, microwave therapy, ultrasound therapy, electromagnetic therapy and other physical therapy methods, can play the role of anti-inflammatory, analgesic and promoting blood circulation.
