Best Treatment for Lumbar Sprain

Hello, lumbar sprain is an acute soft-tissue injury—commonly affecting the muscles, fascia, and ligaments of the lower back—that occurs when these tissues are suddenly overstretched due to external force. It frequently happens during heavy lifting or forceful contraction of the lumbar muscles. Such an acute lumbar sprain may cause tearing of the muscle attachment sites, periosteum, fascia, and ligaments in the lumbosacral region. Strict bed rest is recommended; physical exertion should be avoided, as it may worsen the condition. Treatment aims to relax tendons and muscles, promote blood circulation, unblock meridians, and relieve pain—modalities include acupuncture, massage (Tui Na), and minimally invasive needle-knife therapy. We hope this information is helpful. Wishing you good health!
