Dr. Mohsin Reza answered

Specializes in Family Medicine

Low back pain: Lumbar pain is complex to treat. It can take some time to improve. Heating/Ice, over the counter antiinflammatories, physical therapy helps. Scoliosis depending on how bad it is can contribute to back pain. Proper posture is essential as well. Physical therapy helps and a proper physical exam can help determine a cause.
