How to relieve lumbar myofasciitis

The relief of lumbar myofasciitis requires rest, hot compress, drug treatment, and rehabilitation exercise to relieve pain while promoting the repair of muscles and fascia.

During the acute attack period, you can take bed rest and choose a hard mattress to better support the waist, reduce pressure and promote recovery.

Put a warm towel or hot water bottle on the painful area for 15-20 minutes each time, 2-3 times a day, the effect is ideal. Gentle massage can also relieve pain, but avoid excessive force to avoid causing more discomfort.

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen and diclofenac: used to relieve pain and inflammation.

Topical ointments such as Voltaren and Huoluo Oil: can act directly on the painful area to relieve discomfort.

Muscle relaxants such as citicoline sodium or centrally acting muscle relaxants: suitable for those with severe muscle tightness, but should be used with caution.

4. Moderate rehabilitation exercises and posture adjustment
