==Overview==
[[Treatment]] depends on the underlying cause, co-morbidities, [[age]] of the [[patient]] and chronicity of the [[pain]]. A [[treatment]] plan including a combination of medical and non-medical therapy should be formulated. [[Medical therapy]] includes, [[muscle relaxants]], [[narcotics]], [[non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs|non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs/NSAIAs)]], [[acetaminophen]], [[amitriptyline]], [[tramadol]], [[pregabalin]], [[corticosteroids]]. Non-Medical [[therapy]] include heat massage, [[physical therapy]], [[exercise]], [[psychotherapy]], massages, [[joint manipulation]], managing [[ergonomics]], [[acupuncture]].

===Heat Therapy===
[[Heat therapy]] is useful for [[back spasms]] or other conditions. A [[meta-analysis]] of studies by the [[Cochrane Collaboration]] concluded that [[heat therapy]] can reduce [[symptoms]] of [[acute]] and [[sub-acute]] [[low-back pain]].<ref name=pmid16641776>{{cite journal | author = French S, Cameron M, Walker B, Reggars J, Esterman A | title = A Cochrane review of superficial heat or cold for low back pain. | journal = Spine | volume = 31 | issue = 9 | pages = 998-1006 | year = 2006 | id = PMID 16641776}}</ref> Some [[patients]] find that moist heat works best (e.g. a hot bath or whirlpool) or continuous low-level heat (e.g. a heat wrap that stays warm for 4 to 6 hours). [[Cold therapy]] (e.g. ice or cold pack application) may be effective at relieving [[back]] [[pain]] in some cases.
===Exercise===
[[Exercise]]s can be an effective approach, particularly when done under the supervision of a professional such as a [[physical therapist]]. Generally, some form of consistent [[stretching]] and [[exercise]] is believed to be an essential component of most [[back]] [[treatment]] programs. However, one study found that [[exercise]] is also effective for [[chronic]] [[back]] [[pain]], but not for [[acute]] [[pain]].<ref name=pmid16034851>{{cite journal | author = Hayden J, van Tulder M, Malmivaara A, Koes B | title = Exercise therapy for treatment of non-specific low back pain. | journal = Cochrane Database Syst Rev | volume = | issue = | pages = CD000335 | year = | id = PMID 16034851}}</ref> Another study found that back-mobilizing [[exercises]] in [[acute]] settings are less effective than continuation of ordinary activities as tolerated.<ref name=pmid7823996>{{cite journal | author = Malmivaara A, Häkkinen U, Aro T, Heinrichs M, Koskenniemi L, Kuosma E, Lappi S, Paloheimo R, Servo C, Vaaranen V | title = The treatment of acute low back pain--bed rest, exercises, or ordinary activity? | journal = N Engl J Med | volume = 332 | issue = 6 | pages = 351-5 | year = 1995 | id = PMID 7823996}}</ref>

Overview

Treatment depends on the underlying cause, co-morbidities, age of the patient and chronicity of the pain. A treatment plan including a combination of medical and non-medical therapy should be formulated. Medical therapy includes, muscle relaxants, narcotics, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs/NSAIAs), acetaminophen, amitriptyline, tramadol, pregabalin, corticosteroids. Non-Medical therapy include heat massage, physical therapy, exercise, psychotherapy, massages, joint manipulation, managing ergonomics, acupuncture.

Medical Therapy

Non-Medical Therapy

Heat Therapy

Heat therapy is useful for back spasms or other conditions. A meta-analysis of studies by the Cochrane Collaboration concluded that heat therapy can reduce symptoms of acute and sub-acute low-back pain.[10] Some patients find that moist heat works best (e.g. a hot bath or whirlpool) or continuous low-level heat (e.g. a heat wrap that stays warm for 4 to 6 hours). Cold therapy (e.g. ice or cold pack application) may be effective at relieving back pain in some cases.

Exercise

Exercises can be an effective approach, particularly when done under the supervision of a professional such as a physical therapist. Generally, some form of consistent stretching and exercise is believed to be an essential component of most back treatment programs. However, one study found that exercise is also effective for chronic back pain, but not for acute pain.[11] Another study found that back-mobilizing exercises in acute settings are less effective than continuation of ordinary activities as tolerated.[12]

Physical Therapy

Randomized controlled trials guide selection of interventions[13] . Physical therapy and exercise, including stretching and strengthening (with specific focus on the muscles which support the spine), often learned with the help of a health professional, such as a physical therapist.[14]

Education

Education and attitude adjustment to focus on psychological or emotional causes, respondent-cognitive therapy and progressive relaxation therapy can reduce chronic pain.[15]

Massage Therapy

Massage therapy, especially from an experienced therapist, may help. Acupressure or pressure point massage may be more beneficial.[16]

Joint Manipulation

Manipulation, as provided by an appropriately trained and qualified chiropractor, osteopath, physical therapist, or a physiatrist. Studies of the effect of manipulation suggest that this approach has a small benefit similar to other therapies.[17][18]

Body Awareness Therapy

Body awareness therapy such as the Feldenkrais Method has been studied in relation to fibromyalgia and chronic pain and studies have indicated positive effects. Organized exercise programs using these therapies have been developed.[19]

Acupuncture

Acupuncture has a small benefit for chronic back pain. More recently, a randomized controlled trial found a small benefit after 1 to 2 years.[20][21]

Ergonomics

Most people will benefit from assessing any ergonomic or postural factors that may contribute to their back pain, such as improper lifting technique, poor posture, or poor support from their mattress or office chair, etc. Although this recommendation has not been tested, this intervention is a part of many 'back schools' which do help. High impact, weight-bearing activities, and especially those that asymmetrically load the involved structures such as, extensive twisting with lifting, single-leg stance postures, stair climbing, and repetitive motions at or near the end-ranges of back or hip should be avoided. Direct bending to the ground without bending the knee causes severe impact on the lower back in pregnancy and in normal individuals, which leads to strain, especially in the lumbo-saccral region that in turn strains the multifidus.[14]
