See below: • pain medication. • chiropractic manipulation. • epidural injections. An epidural injection into the spine delivers steroids that can provide low back pain relief by decreasing inflammation in the painful area. • tens units. These devices deliver mild electrical stimulation that overrides the painful signals sent to the lower back. • ultrasound. • massage.

Varies: Multiple options to try to help. Hopefully would respond to simple things, if not options get gradually more involved: rest, medication, exercises, therapy, traction, chiropractic care, injections, interventional pain management, surgery.
