Go to an osteopathic physician (one that specializes in Osteopathic Manipulative Therapy). They should be able to take care of the problem.\n\nPlus, if your pain is caused by a disease or problem elsewhere in your body, an osteopath would be able to identify it, whereas a chiropractor lacks the additional medical knowledge (plus they can't write prescriptions if necessary).

I suffer an illness 'fibromyalgia' back pain i understand greatly...Work on your 'core strength'....pilates,yoga is just the best for relieving and strengthening your body allowing muscles to 'hold everything' in it place. Posture is also a factor also...basically your muscles in your back stabilse your body and posture!A major support to a healthy spine  :)...i wish you well ...a body that isnt working properly is a curse not to take light hearted   ...

My boyfriend has an inversion table and it does help both of our back pain.  Try physical therapy, acupuncture, water exercise, heat and cold therapy....

Well here is something that you can do right at home or when visiting someone:\n\nDo not sit in couches, always sit in firm chairs supporting the lumbar area with a pillow. This will help you keep your waist and lower back in the proper position.\n\n\nI'm not sure about the best medication or about the vinegar.

Stretching, exercising, sleeping in the right positions, seeing a physiotherapist to give you a personalized routine and apply heat/cold correctly to your body.\n\nEasy way to get the pain to subside considerably: stretch everyday.  Good stretch for your back:  hold onto something that will hold your body weight (like a door handle) that is waist high and lean your whole body out with your feet under where your hands are holding, this will stretch out your back.  Other than this, just do 15-20 min of various stretches, holding each stretch for 1 minute.  \n\nGet an exercies routine.  If you don't want a gym membership, then make a point of walking for 20 minutes everyday.  At least it is something. \n\nHow old are you?  Sounds like you are in your twenties.\n\nWhen we leave our teens our body starts to solidify.  This is my terminology for the fact it's not growing anymore and it becomes more and more solid.  It's not naturally changing all the time, so we need to keep it moving, keep it flexible, and keep it working.  \n\nI cracked my neck a couple times in  high school, and had been able to slack off on the exercise for several years, but it caught up with me in the form of constant pain, knots continually under my shoulder blades, and greatly decreased upper body strength.  I started stretching everyday, even just for 5 minutes if I'm busy, and exercising at the gym a minimum twice a week, and now I have NO pain.  NONE.  It's been 6 months.  I don't do much, but the little bit has changed my entire body.  \n\nOk, so enough home remedies, you're having pain with no immediate results on the attempts you've tried.  Have you seen a physiotherapist?  Get a doctor's referral and go - it's totally worth the $35 fee or whatever they charge where you are.  They will apply heat to your back and teach you all the exercises you  need for that part of your back, exercises, stretches etc.  And they'll teach you how to sleep and sit and everything that will improve your back.  \n\nI saw my physiotherapist before beginning my exercise and stretch routine, and it was the best investment I've made for my body.  \n\nGood luck.

My advice:\n\n1.   At night, sleep on your side, legs slightly bent, with a thin pillow between your knees.  This will reduce the presure on your spine as you sleep.\n\n2.  Stretch your back several times a day.  A good one is lay flat on your back, rotate your trunk, with your left leg straight and your right leg bent, try to touch your right knee to the ground to your left. Then straighten your right leg, bend your left leg, rotate your trunk, try to touch your left knee to the ground to your right.  Another good one is when sitting, reach your right hand behind your head, and touch your left shoulder blade, then reach your left hand behind your head and try to touch your right should blade.\n\n3.  If your a student, you should have access to the campus health club.  Join, and ask to be shown stretches and exercises specifically for your back (explain that you've had some back issues).

Assuming it is mechanical back pain, try ice or heat, with Anti-inflammatory, tylenol, and relative rest, see doctor if it continues.

Running is a very high-impact activity on your body.  One thing that you can do, and this sounds strange, but it can alleviate a lot of lower back pain as a result of running and other activities, is to do some light weight training exercises.  Supplement the running with weight-bearing exercise, and a lot of the pain should decrease.  \n\nYou can also try taking medication, but I'm sure you don't want to become dependent on that or anything.  You've already done well with picking out good shoes and a good surface, by the way.  \n\nAlso, there are a lot of stretching exercises you can do to strengthen the muscles in your lower back.  In the "sources" section, I'm giving you some links to check out to show some different stretches and things you can do to help.  Good luck!

try thermal care patches and then if that doesnt work ask your mom to take you to your family doctor and he will tell your mom what you can do for your back

Try a complementary therapy. Aromatherapy- you get a massage and some sweet smelling herbs/plants which aim to help you i.e lavander rubbed into your back or whole body.

I find already three answers are there and the second one even gives you certain very good medicines .\nI do suffere from it L4 & L5 disc prolapse and under went treatment for more than one month admission in hospital.\nWeights were added to pull the leg through pulleys and immediately pain would go After some time the pain used to relapse and only when weights are removed the pain used to subside!!!Then SCIATICA developed. \nWhen you are affected badly having pain take rest. Lie down.\nLet the bed be hard one. Keep a prop up in the back while lying on back\nTake neurobion tablets to strengthen the nerves .Take DICHLOGESIC tablets .If any nervine injectionws are there take one course.When pain is more take pain killer tablets.\nBE ON BED REST till you become normal.\n\nDont sit on floor cross leged.Sit in  chairs straight and up right with a pop up to the back. There are certain chairs specially developed for this problem.Wear the hip belt.\nIt has a steel plate a small flat piece which helps as additional support to your back bone. WEAR IT ALWAYS.\nREMOVE only at night so that the nerves get relaxed at night.DONT EVER LIFT ANY WEIGHT. Even light weight learn how to sit and lift and not by bending your chest forward to lift the weight.Dont climb upstairs with weight.\nDont travel in two wheelers or in buses in back seat on bumpy roads. Every jerk adds to your problem.\nThere are certain exercises to lubricate the affected parts and to remove its frigidness. \nLifting one leg staright up without pain lying backwards and with one leg straightened and rotating it clockwise and anti clockwise. Just three four times and bring down and rest, \nRepeat with the other leg.Initially even lifting up may be painful. Dont exercise when pain is there.\nSame way lying on belly lift one leg up backwards straight without bending.\nStand up on toes with hands on some support like railings.\nLye on back kkep a low stool on which you lift and put your two legs and press the back to the floor. and then relax.\n\nGo to any hospital site and see the exercises for DISC PROLAPSE.

You could try some accupunture sessions. My nursing instructor used them for chronic back pain and she said after about 4 treatments she hasn't ever had the pain again. You should also see a chiropractor to check for any nerve compression, bugling discs, hernia, etc.

But now i am like a bull I an lift things play cricket  and do all activities
