Hi
For low back pain you start with lumbar traction short wave diathermy and back extension exercise along with mild analgesic.
If this does not help you can take low dose steroid and then should be tapered.
And if still you have you need to be given epidural injection.
Avoid forward bending and weight lifting.
For heel pain you have plantar fascitis so you wear soft foot ware dip your leg in hot and cold water for 15minutes 2 times a day.And mild analgesic.
If pain doe not subside local hydro cortisone injection should be given.
Hope above treatement will surely help you.
Get well soon.
Thank you.
