Lower back pain is a very common discomfort causing condition that occurs anywhere on the back below the ribs and above the legs. The pain is very common and is faced by most individuals at least once during their lifetime.
The most basic measures to cure your lower back pain are exercising well, eating healthy and maintaining a good body posture at all times.

Here are some of the common treatment options for reducing back pain. 

1. Spinal Manipulation - It refers to an ancient form of therapy in which your back pain is treated externally. This form of treatment is quite similar to a massage treatment and helps to relax the muscles in the lower back area, thereby reducing the pain. It is usually done by osteopathic physicians, chiropractors, occupational therapists and physical therapists.

2. Neurostructural integration technique (NST) - The main role of this type of treatment is to naturally reset the affected area of the body in order to allow it to regain its normal form. The results usually begin to appear after at least 2 sessions of the therapy and the effects are long-lasting in nature.

3. Acupuncture - This is an old technique which uses small needles at strategic locations on your skin. The main aim of the acupuncturists is to re-balance the flow of energy in your body and to ensure that you have an optimal level of energy in all parts of your body. This, in turn, helps to regain the normal state of your lower back if the right points on the body are targeted.

4. Other measures - Some preventive measures which ensure that the lower back pain once gone does not reappear are as follows:

• Keep your spine straight and posture correct
• Avoid excessive bending, stretching or weight lifting
• Avoid heavy physical activities like sprinting
• Regular and light exercising
