A member asked:
Xray - "straightened lumbar spine, likely secondary to muscle spasm. mid lumbar scoliosis." what can you suggest for her? she's been having back pains
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Moist heat, NSAIDs : This x-ray report suggests that this young patient is having muscular lbp w/ secondary muscle spasms which can 'reverse' the normal lordosis of the lumbar spine and cause it to straighten... Esp.W/ non- standing x-rays. Heat, Ibuprofen , gentle massage, and avoidance of aggravating activities can be helpful the first week or so. If symptoms persist consider seeing an orthopedist. Good luck!
