Lower back pain may result from lumbar muscle strain or lumbar disc herniation. It is essential to avoid prolonged sitting, staying up late, overexertion, and heavy lifting. A lumbar CT scan should be performed to assess whether the intervertebral discs are normal. Symptomatic treatment with oral blood-activating and analgesic medications can help alleviate symptoms. Additionally, avoid consuming excessively cold or spicy/irritating foods in daily life.
