For lumbar spondylosis, bed rest and massage therapy are recommended. Apply warm compresses to both sides of the patient's lower back. During massage, use moderate pressure—avoid pressing too hard or too lightly—and fingertip acupressure techniques can also be used. If pain symptoms are significant, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as diclofenac sodium, may be taken. Additionally, patients are advised to follow a light diet during treatment.
