Hello,
This condition is primarily attributed to improper sleeping posture. It’s essential to ensure adequate sleep at night, and sleeping position plays a crucial role. For symptom relief, you may consider back massage or Tui Na (Chinese therapeutic massage). Topical application of medicated plasters can also help alleviate symptoms. If this issue recurs frequently, opting for a firm mattress may effectively reduce discomfort.
I hope this information is helpful. Wishing you good health!
