Suggest Treatment For Lower Back Pain
Question: Hi,
I am suffering a bit with my lower back pain. This is because of my work style and the postures I sit and do my work. I don't get time to do regular exercises and this issue is ongoing for quite a long time.

Brief Answer:
Spine extension exercises, lying on your stomach flat lift leg
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have studied your case.
Most probable reason for your symptoms could be postural problem as you may be sitting for long time and working on computer for long time.
When such patient comes to my hospital we usually take x ray spine to see for any nerve compression.
Medication like methylcobalamine with muscle relaxant and analgesic will reduce pain; you can take them consulting your treating doctor.
Some exercises which can be done after pain has reduced include- Spine extension exercises, lying on your stomach flat lift leg 6 inches from ground, do it for other leg.
Now lift both hand and leg simultaneously, 6 inch off the ground and stay
Position for around 10 breathes. Core stabilizing spine exercises will help.
You can add back press and back lift in lying down supine on back.
Some life style modifications to prevent pain– Take break every 40 min from computer and do some lumbar rotation, stretches, walk and get back to work. Sit with taking support to your back, and do not watch television constantly.
Sit with spine straight and supported. Walk with spine erect and neck straight, Sleep on back or lateral on one side, while lifting weight band from knee and keep weight close to body.Dont over do rotation. Maintain ergonomic while working.
I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.
