Massage and yoga. Both are extremely effective. I have friends that have tried and they had scoliosis before. It is perfect now. Perfect back. I STRONGLY recommend it

First you should see a doctor or chiropractor to determine if there is a serious problem. If you just have moderate low back pain with no obvious injury, there are a few things you can do. Alternate heat and ice 5-10 minutes each every 1/2 hour. There are stretches you can do to strengthen your back and ease the pain. It is very important to do some type of stretching or exercises. If you don't, things will get worse as you loose muscle tone! Good luck! It may seem like it will never get better..just give it some time and it will if you take the time to do what you need to do heal yourself!

Stand up and stretch your arms above your head! The American Chiropractic Association (ACA) suggests, "Do the 'hug your best friend.' Wrap your arms around your body and turn as far as you can to the left, then to the right." \nExercise regularly to keep the abdominal muscles strong to help support the spine. \nAvoid wearing high–heeled shoes. Choose shoes that offer good foot support and comfort. Some styles can affect the body's center of gravity. Flat shoes are better. \nLook at yourself in the mirror. Is your posture good? Think about your posture and how to maintain it throughout the days' activities. Practice makes perfect!

get some icy hot patches. And get  some one to give you a massage. It also depends what kind of bed your sleeping in..Make sure its not that soft. Cause then your back is not stright and that will cause more pain

use a light sprinkling of talcum powder on your back twice a day-that should do the trick.

Personally, I don't suggest you to see a chiro. You may however try putting hot compress on the area for 20 - 30 min a day or as needed. Then try stretching back muscles. Also, strengthen muscles on your back. If the pain worsens, try seeing an orthopedic doctor. You you will go through an a xray to check if it's your spine that's causing the pain. If it's the muscle, go to a physical therapist. You can be treated with Ultrasound and they'll teach you the different exercises that can stretch and streghten the muscles supporting your back legs.

Sounds like a back problem.Try talking to a chiropractor.

Try sleeping on your back. If you don't sleep on it it will have more time to heal. I don't think it is the scoliosis. I have scoliosis and it doesn't hurt. Do you go to a chiropractor? If so, your last visit could have moved something new that has hurt your shoulder. Emptying out your backpack was a good move: it relieves some of the stress. \nTry taking Advil to take down inflammation.

Back pain is caused by weak back muscles. If you have a chronic problem then do no exercise in pain Take Meftal Fort for 3 days or talk to your doctor then start building your back muscles.I had a chronic back problem it would go out of place and hurt if i just coughed. But now i am like a bull I an lift things play cricket  and do all activities

Purchase a back brace, you can either wear them under or over your shirts, depending on how much you need the support. As for the ongoing pain, take some Tylenol or another OTC med and take a hot bath, the warm water helps muscles relax.\n\nAlso, what I discovered, stand up tall and straight, may think that it'll hurt worse, but it really doesn't. The more you slouch, the more pressure is put on your spine.

I had back surgery a number of years back for a ruptured disc in my lower back.  The first thing I can tell you is, if you are having a problem with a disc, stop going to the chiropractor, that will only make the situation worse.  The second thing you should do is go see your regular physician and request that he refer you out for an MRI.  An x-ray will not help, as you can not see soft tissue damage on an x-ray, so an MRI is your only option for determining if indeed you have damage to a disc in your lower back. As for self help, sleep on your back with a pillow under your knees and take ibuprofen on a regular basis for a few days. I feel your pain.  Good luck!

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.

I was told that exercise to increase strength of muscles in back can help. But make sure you do it under doctor care. You could do more damage then good if you don't do the right ones for your condition.

you can get an ergonomic assessment. or check to see that there is no strain on your back, hands. plant your feet flat on the ground and sit upright. Place your monitor such that your eyes look straight into it.\n\nFor more info: http://www.spine-health.com/topics/cd/ergo/ergo03.html

It really depends on your age and health. If you have \nsound bone in your spine, doctors can use screws and bracing to support your back. There are new processes every day it seems.

I do one of two things when my lower back starts to hurt that may help you.  Flip your mattress if you haven't in awhile.  You can also lay on your back on the floor and try to flatten out your back by pressing the small of your back into the floor.  You could also try getting a massage or visiting the chiropractor.  Hope you feel better!
