What medicine is most effective for lumbar pain

There are many reasons for lumbar pain. It may be caused by lumbar disc herniation or sciatica. At this time, you must go to the hospital for examination in time and then take certain medications. Generally, conservative methods are used for treatment. There are also many drugs in this regard. For example, analgesics include ibuprofen capsules, mannitol, glycerol fructose, etc., which have the effects of relieving pain and swelling. In addition, you can also take some nerve nourishing drugs.

Habits to develop for lumbar disc herniation

1. Correct walking posture: Keep your upper body straight when walking, look forward, maintain body balance, and move your center of gravity up and down or left and right no more than 2.5 cm.

2. Appropriate bed: A suitable bed for patients with lumbar spondylosis is a flat bed or a flat bed with a hard cushion. It can ensure the physiological lordosis of the lumbar spine when lying on your back and prevent scoliosis when lying on your side.

3. Good working method: bend your knees, flex your muscles, and straighten your waist to lift heavy objects: Using this posture to lift heavy objects does not require you to stretch your waist with great force. You only need to hold the heavy object with both hands, stretch your hips and knees, and the heavy object can be lifted, because the gluteus maximus and quadriceps femoris that stretch these two joints are powerful, have long muscle fibers, and have great working efficiency. Carrying heavy objects on the shoulders and head: Carrying heavy objects on the shoulders and head shortens the lever arm, makes the force vertical, and directly acts on the spine, which is beneficial for the transfer of gravity to the ground. Correct standing position: When working, a better position for those who often stand is to slightly bend the knees, gently contract the gluteus maximus, and naturally contract the abdominal muscles. This can prevent or reduce damage to the lumbar intervertebral disc.

4. Sitting posture and seats: People who sit for long periods of time should maintain or try not to reduce the lumbar lordosis sitting posture, so it is more appropriate to use a chair with a backrest. The backrest of the work chair should be tilted back 100°, and the chair height should be such that the knee joint can be flexed 90°-100° and the feet can be placed flat on the ground.
