Sometimes a strong shooting pain restrains a person’s movements and forces them to refuse to perform certain tasks, not to mention a good rest in the fresh air. Those who often suffer from such an ailment should know how to help themselves in a critical situation, if for objective reasons it is impossible to consult a doctor.
Emergency help
To calm down unpleasant sensations in the lower back and speed up recovery, you should use some useful tricks:
- taking a warm bath;
- massage;
- taking painkillers.
It is recommended to add essential oils to a warm bath. So the body relaxes, and a pleasant aroma can distract from pain. Warming massage with the use of oils or means that warm the muscles and improve blood flow is quite effective. Such a technique helps to quickly relieve pain due to overwork, accumulation of salts, great physical exertion.

Preventative measures
The pain is often taken aback in a completely inappropriate place. In order to continue to prevent the occurrence of pain, you can follow some recommendations:

- adhere to a clear sleep regimen to give a sore back to rest;
- do simple feasible exercises to strengthen muscles and joints.
The main thing is not to endure pain. It not only interferes with concentration, but also leads to complications.
What else can I take?
To “calm” the pain, modern medicine can turn to painkillers. An example of such drugs is non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Such drugs can have a fairly quick effect and significantly reduce pain omissions.
Nalgesin can be used to relieve back pain. This drug in the indications for use has a pain syndrome that has arisen as a result of:
- sciatica;
- rheumatoid arthritis;
- neuralgia;
- osteochondrosis.
Nalgesin can not only eliminate pain, but also stop the inflammatory processes in the body.
However, such drugs are used only for symptomatic therapy and are unlikely to eliminate the cause of the pain. But the occurrence of a pain symptom can occur due to various disorders in the functioning of our body. Therefore, at the first signs of malaise, it is extremely important to consult a doctor.
