Lower Back Pain Management Tips

I am a middle aged women working for a corporate giant in a white collar job.  I thought I was very fit until I experienced lower back pain a few months back.  Normally I had been regular and punctual to the office, but after the occurrence of the lower back pain I became very irregular as the pain was unbearable. I could not sit or stand for long.  Since my work involved more hours of sitting in front of the computer, I was not able to do any work properly due to lower back pain that I decided to visit my family physician to get some relief.

My physician asked me about my routine and asked whether I ever did some exercises or went for walks.  I told him that I was not used to exercises and asked for over the counter medication.  Since the physician was known to me for years, he explained me that lower back pain management with the help of over the counter medication was very difficult as he had seen his patients suffer even after consuming them and also suggested that I did some aerobic exercises or stretching exercises as part of the lower back pain management. He had also recommended me to check the web for recent updates in pain management and recommended the website http://www.besthealing.info for the latest information related to back pain and arthritis and the best available treatment for them.

I took his advice and tried practicing it, but it was hard to do for the reasons that I did not have enough time and the willingness to do it.  I again went to the physician and explained about my problem that he suggested me to undergo massage therapy.  He further told that massage therapy could be the only alternative to exercise as the blood circulation would be enhanced resulting in improving the immune system of the body.  But then he suggested that I should do some mild exercises even after the treatment for effective lower back pain management.
