To effectively address back pain, it is vital to take a comprehensive approach that takes into account the severity of the pain and its underlying causes. Treatment options include:
- Physical Therapy: A valuable avenue for managing chronic or recurring back pain with a personalized exercise program designed by a physical therapist.
- Heat and Cold Therapy: Applications to relax muscles (heat) or reduce inflammation (cold) offer relief.
- Surgery: Reserved for cases where conservative measures are ineffective, surgery aims to address structural issues like herniated discs or spinal abnormalities.
