Low back pain has developed, and the condition can be assessed via lumbar X-ray and lumbar MRI. Conservative treatments—including lumbar traction and massage therapy—are recommended. Traction involves applying external force to the lumbar spine to partially separate malaligned spinal joints and effectively stretch surrounding soft tissues. Additional therapeutic options include massage, heat application, infrared therapy, and anti-inflammatory analgesics. In daily life, maintain proper sitting posture and avoid prolonged standing or sitting.
