Hello, treatment options for lumbar sprain include: - Cold compresses using a towel to prevent local vasodilation, reduce bleeding, and minimize edema; - Adjunctive massage—gently kneading and rubbing the affected lumbar area with the palm of the hand; - Topical medications, such as Honghua Oil (Safflower Oil), Xiaozhong Zhitong Ding (Swelling-Reducing and Pain-Relieving Tincture), or Yunnan Baiyao Spray; - Oral medications—for example, blood-activating and analgesic agents like Dieda Wan (Trauma Pills) or Sanqi Shangyao Pian (Notoginseng Trauma Tablets). We hope the above information is helpful. Wishing you a pleasant and healthy life!
