1. Find a Physical Therapist
This can make a big difference, especially if you’ve had the pain for more than 4-6 weeks.
2. Keep Moving, Keep Stretching
Scared to get back to your exercise routine? It makes sense. After all, you want to be careful and avoid things that’ll make you feel worse.

4. Ice and Heat
There isn’t a lot of proof that ice will ease your symptoms, but some people say it helps.
5. Calm Your Mind
Research shows your state of mind can affect the chances that you’ll get low back pain better than clinical tests like MRIs and disk injections.
