Certainly the hot packs, cold packs, and pain ointments help. I have an infra red massager that helps as well. It used to be that doctors recommended bed rest. However, it was found that the muscles just tightened up and it took longer to get over the pain. Now they are recommending light exercise and moderate activity to loosen up the muscles quicker. One exercise that helps is when you stretch your lumbar muscles by getting on your hands and knees with your hands under your shoulders and your knees under your hips. Let your head hang down and arch your back towards the ceiling and hold it for five seconds. Repeat 10 times or so per session. This is only one of several lower back exercises that will help. Back pain exercises are meant for strained muscles and ligaments. If you have a slipped disc or pinched nerves exercises might make the problem worse.
