Treatment for Low Back Pain and Herniated Disk
For the majority of cases, localized back pain comes from the straining of muscles and ligaments. Relatively limited protrusion of a disk that impinges on nerve roots is a much less frequent cause, though not rare.
In either case, the first things to do are:
Lie down on a bed or couch in any comfortable position or positions.
Use anti-inflammatory medication (aspirin, ibuprofen or prescription drugs).
Apply heat or cold, whichever feels better.
This is called "conservative" therapy - no surgical procedure is performed.
Conservative therapy is not merely symptomatic; these measures have specific benefits. First, lying on one's side or back with the hips and knees somewhat flexed relieves forces that a vertical position, or even sitting, imposes on the disks, ligaments and muscles of the spine.
Second, aspirin and its relatives are anti-inflammatory drugs. Not only do they relieve pain - thus reduce one of the triggers of reflex muscle spasm - they also reduce inflammation in injured tissues. To get the anti-inflammatory effect requires more than the usual painkilling dose; at least two tablets every four hours (but not during the hours of sleep) is typically required.
Finally, cold applied immediately after an injury helps to prevent swelling and pain. Later, heat appears to reduce swelling and promote recovery.

There are many types of back pain: lumbago, which affects the lower back; Essential oils can provide wonderful relief from
chronic back pain. They penetrate deeply into the muscle tissues, encouraging contracted muscles to expand, they increase blood flow to the area, and allow torn fibrous tissues to be repaired by the body.
