Lumbar sprains can be relieved through heat therapy (e.g., hot compresses) or infrared lamp physiotherapy. Heat application promotes local blood circulation and helps reduce swelling. Topical herbal ointments that invigorate blood circulation and resolve stasis may also be used to alleviate symptoms. Patients should rest in bed, avoid lifting heavy objects, keep the lumbar region warm, and prevent exposure to cold.
