What is the best treatment for moderate back pain?
8 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Depends: Would initially recommend over the counter medications such as tylenol (acetaminophen) and Ibuprofen as well as rest. If no better, physical therapy. Might need an MRI by then. Epidural injections would be an option as well.

See below: Rest and nsaids. Physical therapy. If that fails see a pain specialist who may be able to offer injections.

Lower Back Pain: Conservative therapy works well for most patients with lower back pain. The use of prevention is the best - exercise, stretching, and strengthening. During the acute phase of pain - nsaids or acetaminophen, if not contraindicated, and heat and/or ice, usually work well.
